Janet and Mike Harper rent a house in the English countryside from Vanessa Courtwright after Mike, an American wool company executive, moves his office to London to stimulate foreign trade. Mike spends his time in London keeping company with his assistant, Claire Hackett, and attending bachelor parties thrown by his boss, Mr. Langsdorf, while neglected Janet stays home alone. In revenge, she flirts with Paul Bellari, a handsome antique dealer whom she hires to redecorate the house. Janet and Paul fly to Paul's main office in Paris so that Janet may see an antique table. While there, they visit a bistro where Janet passes out from drinking too much wine, and when Paul takes her back to his office, they accidentally get locked in for the night. Mike hears of the trip and takes the next flight to Paris. When he finds them in the office, he fights with Paul and demands a divorce from Janet. Janet agrees, but several days later she overhears Claire Hackett discussing how much Mike loves his wife. At a cocktail party in a hotel, Janet mistakenly winds up in lecherous Mr. Langsdorf's bed, and he chases her through the hotel. Mike becomes jealous, and the two reunite.
