Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Professor Stock and his wife Mizzi are always bickering. Mizzi tries to seduce Dr. Franz Braun, the new husband of her good friend Charlotte. Dr. Braun's colleague, Dr. Mueller, who has had his eye on Charlotte, sees this as his opportunity, although the Brauns are very happily married. Through a misunderstanding, Charlotte thinks that her husband is interested in Miss Hofer and asks Mizzi to keep him occupied. Meanwhile, Professor Stock becomes suspicious of his wife and, hoping to obtain a divorce, hires a detective to spy on her. Written by Will Gilbert |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Motion Picture Magazine (February-July 1924): 'In making the kissing scene in "The Marriage Circle," where the dutiful wife smacks another man other than her husband by mistake, Herr Lubitsch made Florence Vidor and Creighton Hale repeat the event exactly thirty-nine times before the kiss was right. Florence is a very lovely lady, but... well, thirty-nine times!' See more » |
| Goofs | On the letter that Dr. Braun writes asking Mizzi to choose another doctor, the printed address on Dr. Braun's stationery misspells Vienna as "Wein"; it is correctly printed as "Wien" as a return address on the envelope of the same letter. See more » |
