After Bert discovers her infidelity and threatens to leave, the woman attempts to win him back by using a new appearance and attempting to seduce Jimmy as well, realizing too late that her flirtations have created jealousy and resentment that cannot easily be resolved. The story explores how the wife's pursuit of thrills outside her marriage ultimately damages her relationship with her husband, with the narrative suggesting that her unfaithfulness represents the titular "worst mistake" a wife could make.
