A former singer's happy marriage comes under increasing strain due to her husband's jealousy. He hires private detectives to follow her and even believes that a contract he has earned has been given to him by a man who is his wife's lover. When he dies in a railway accident, his wife is haunted by what she feels is his reproachful spirit. Eventually she is able to find happiness with her husband's formed assistant.
