As described in a film magazine review,[2] Julia Crossland is living very happily with her husband and sister. Evelyn Jefferson is equally happy with the thoughts of her upcoming marriage to Jimmy Stanton, who has just accepted a position as secretary to Thomas Chadwick. He rents a house for his employer next to that of the Crossland's. When the sisters meet Thomas, they realize that he is the man they both love and secretly wrote passionate love letters to. Evelyn attempts to get the letters, but is unsuccessful. Chadwick is killed. When the Morocco box containing the letters is opened, everyone finds that the man has personally destroyed all evidence of his past amours.
