While Elinor Norton's jealous husband Tony is away serving in trenches in World War I, she encounters the charming Brazilian Rene Alba who falls in love with her. When Tony returns from the war slightly shell-shocked she agrees to go away with him and live on a Texas ranch while he recovers, cutting off all contact with Rene. However he comes to visit the ranch, and Tony enjoys his company and invites him to stay and even wants him to become a partner in the ranch. Eventually when he discovers the secret love between them, a neurotic Tony points a gun at his head and accidentally wounds Elinor in the shoulder.
