Leon Errol has been stepping out every evening on wife Joan Blair. When an old friend comes to visit her, they devise a plan to scare Leon back to the straight and narrow. The friend sells Leon a ticket to a costume ball. There, Leon flirts with a beautiful masked stranger.... who is actually his wife!
It's not the first time this plot has appeared in the movies. In 1908's A MASKED BALL, it's D.W. Griffith who winds up making love to his wife of the screen (and reality), Linda Arvidson, at a costume party. Leon's version, of course, depends on Leon's tics and quirks and screen personality. This movie is nicely done, even if it all has been done before.
