Jack receives a letter from a dealer, discouraging his work. Disgusted with all, he turns to the country for something better. Wandering through the rural districts, he stops at a farmhouse for a meal and while there he paints the picture of the daughter of the house. Miriam is a wealthy girl, the ward of an unscrupulous guardian, who wishes her to marry his worthless son. She hates them both. In the woods one day she meets the artist painting the farm-girl's portrait. Impressed by his good looks she does not forget him. Later a messenger brings the guardian news that a new codicil to the will has been discovered and unless the ward marries before she is twenty-one. The inheritance is to go to the guardian. Miriam overhears this. It is a question of hours until she will be of age. She escapes from a room in which she has been locked. They pursue. She gets in an auto. This breaks down running through the fields. She meets the artist and implores him to marry her immediately, promising a big reward. Though bewildered, he agrees. The pursuers overtake the couple as they emerge from the church. Leaving the artist, Miriam gives him a purse. He throws it from him. Then she sees the artist apparently making love to the farmer's daughter and this arouses her jealousy. The artist returns to the city and takes up his work with renewed vigor. Without letter her name be known, Miriam buys his pictures. The artist wishes for a perfect model. Unable to find one, he thinks of his wife. With her image in his mind, he paints a picture that takes a prize. Miriam, thinking that he has painted someone else, vows to destroy it. But on seeing it, she is repentant and her love increases for the young artist, her husband. Meantime, the guardian, in revenge, destroys the picture. Miriam is blamed by those who overheard her threat. The artist and his wife meet and he graciously takes the blame on himself, but a crippled boy has seen the act and he points out the guilty party.
