After being injured in a battle with a shark, Kerry Harlan is unable to work, and his youthful wife, Amy, becomes a fashion model. While she is away, his surgeon's wife, Bertha, tries to force her attentions on Kerry and is accidentally killed in an attempt to evade her husband. Amy is courted by Tony Channing following the scandal, but she returns to her husband and finds him near death from gas fumes. As they both attempt suicide, their spirits are rejected by "the other world," and learning the truth from Bertha's spirit they fight their way back to life.
