As described in a film magazine,[4] successful lawyer John Shipley (Barnes) becomes fascinated by a vampire (La Rue) of the accepted type. His wife Marion (Clayton) becomes aware of the infatuation and adopts the ways of her opponent, pretending incidentally an affection for a World War I veteran (Boyd) whom she knew in France. At a house party to which Marion had invited the other woman, her husband discovers his mistake in his judgment of womanly values and the wife emerges from the conflict victorious.
With no prints of Exit the Vamp located in any film archives, it is considered a lost film.[5]
