Paul gives her money and becomes interested in her. She returns to the den to be ill-treated, while he goes to his studio to he told by his model that she must have her pay. Paul sees a vision of Grace with her beautiful face, just the face for his Madonna. Grace, meanwhile, has escaped from the den during a brawl and takes up her place outside of the artist's studio. He finds her there in the morning, and takes her in, with the idea of having her pose. It is not long before an attachment springs up between the two, and Grace experiences the ambition to become good, like the picture that is being painted of her. New Year's Eve arrives. The artists hold their annual supper. Grace has slipped away and joined Paul at the party in his apartment. Lloyd has followed her with his gang of Apaches. Grace is wined and dined and proclaimed the model of the year. When the fun is at its highest point, however, there is a wild rush from the outside; the doors are burst open and the Apache band engages the artist in a terrible fight. The arrival of the gendarmes brings it to a sudden ending. Grace's father is shot as he escapes and later dies. The Apaches escape through the Paris sewers, and Paul claims the willing girl for his own. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
