Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Jennie Wetherby and her husband Jimmy agree that if they tire of wedded life, she or he will hand the other a bowl of goldfish, signifying that their marital partnership is ended. They quarrel and Jimmy carries out the threat, giving Jenny a bowl of goldfish. Won by Herman Krauss, Jenny gives him the goldfish in favor of millionaire J. Hamilton Powers. The latter dies, leaving her a wealthy widow. She is about to wed the Duke of Middlesex, when Krauss brings the old sweethearts together again. The Duke gets the goldfish and Jimmy and Jenny are reunited.
