Through his influence Miller becomes celebrated. Brooke is called to the Congo, leaving behind his bride of a few months. Miller is about to despair of finding a suitable model for his supreme artistic effort, a painting of Circe, the temptress, when Cleo, a bewitchingly beautiful woman enters and offers to pose for it. They fall deeply in love with each other. Later he becomes engaged to Eva Warren, daughter of one of his patrons. Cleo learns of this and tries to poison herself. Brooke returns from Africa and invites Miller home to meet his wife. There the artist discovers that Brooke's wife is none other than Cleo, his model. Both are greatly alarmed as Miller has sold Cleo's picture to an art dealer, who is about to exhibit it. Fearing Brooke will recognize the features, Miller tries in vain to repurchase die picture. Cleo suggests he visit the gallery that night and mutilate the portrait. Face to face with his masterpiece, the artist is unable to destroy it and instead paints in another face. The day before Miller's wedding, Cleo leaves a note in his studio saying she is going to kill both herself and Eva. Learning they have gone motoring, Miller frantically follows, hoping to intercept the woman's terrible plan. He almost catches them when Cleo's high-powered machine plunges over a steep cliff, killing her instantly. Eva jumps in time to miraculously escape death.
