While seated before his hearth stone the young artist dreams of a beautiful pastoral love scene between a faun and a wood-nymph that is interrupted by the daughter of Pan. She lures the faun from his own true love with the weird music of her father's flute. The artist awakens from his dream with the picture of the daughter of Pan lingering in his mind. It is the picture he would like to transfer to canvas. In searching for an ideal model, Stephen meets Caprice, a dancer who exemplifies the spirit of Pan's daughter. She is induced to pose for the coming masterpiece. Stephen becomes enamored of his model and sadly neglects his wife. When the wife is refused admittance to her husband's studio, she naturally becomes jealous and angry. As the days pass the wife becomes friendly with her husband's friend, Arthur Darrell. Darrell is in love with the wife and makes advances, but for the time these are spurned. The sinister influence of Caprice upon the artist is apparent, and even after the painting is finished he is too fascinated with her to let her go. In a passionate love scene he wins her. His wife, in the meantime, has come to an understanding with the friend, Darrell. However, she decides, in fairness to her husband, to inform him prior to her departure, of her intentions. She finds the studio empty; the fatal picture is there finished to mock her. In a rage she slashes it to ribbons and with the act of destruction, the influence under which Stephen has worked is broken. Deserting his sweetheart, he hurries home to find love and forgiveness in the hands of his repentant wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
