Marie Mazzini, a poor artist's model, and her mother live in a tenement. Richard Kenton, another artist, advertises for an Italian model. Marie answers the ad and secures the position. As the painting progresses Kenton falls in love with the girl and she with him, and he believes that the picture will prove to be his masterpiece. He is penniless himself and is forced to pawn his watch to pay the girl her first week's salary. He accidentally drops the pawn ticket and Marie, finding it. realizes the extent of his sacrifice. She returns the ticket to Kenton and offers to take only part of the money and have Kenton pay her the balance later. Kenton refuses the offer in a kindly manner. Kenton is unable to sell the completed painting. De Dion sees Marie dining with Kenton, and struck with her beauty, resolves to possess her. He offers her work as a model at extravagant wages. Kenton warns Marie of De Dion's evil reputation but in order to help Kenton she poses for him in secret. De Dion treats Marie with courtesy at first, and she begins to believe Kenton was wrong in his deductions. One evening Marie is lured to De Dion's studio by a ruse to the effect that her mother has been hurt in an automobile accident and carried there. Marie discovers the plot to lure her there, but De Dion and his servant prevent her departure. De Dion has prepared a dinner in the studio. Marie's mother calls up the studio but De Dion tells her Marie is not there. The mother goes to Kenton to help her locate Marie. Kenton suspects De Dion may have something to do with Marie's departure. He sends the mother home and races for De Dion's studio. Meantime De Dion, seeing that Marie will not obey his wishes voluntarily, uses force and attempts to overpower her. Kenton arrives at the critical moment. De Dion gets a revolver and tries to kill Kenton but the latter wrenches the weapon from De Dion and hits him over the head with it, knocking him unconscious. Kenton helps Marie from the studio, leaving De Dion slowly returning to consciousness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
