She needed a second opinion: After five years of a miserable marriage to Roger "The Rat" Ryan, Dr. Charlotte Hamilton obtains a divorce. However, being the Rat, Roger blames their failed marriage totally on Charlotte. He insists that if she was less frigid in bed, he would never have wandered. His final humiliation about his ex occurs in his lawyer's office when he announces to the world that Charlotte was a lousy lover. In spite of her professional accomplishments, Charlotte's inferiority complex explodes and she leaves totally debased. She heads to a nearby hotel bar for a drink where she meets a handsome man.
