An artist sees her and thinks that she is good material for caricature. He lures her to Paris with a roll of bills. The country youth says good-bye to his sweetheart and goes to the city. He meets Gale, who proceeds to vamp him to a finish. She then leaves the artist for whom she is posing, and leaves with the poet. But she deserts him for a man of wealth. He gives a masked ball for her. Jack is there as a shepherd, and the crowd makes fun of him. He falls for Gale, and places her in a fountain which is not running. When the crowd rushes to her in admiration, Jack is jealous and turns on the water. Gale faints. Jack then carries her to his home, up flight after flight of stairs. He is nearly exhausted, when her mask falls off. He drops her, and runs, she after him, right out into the country, where he grabs his sweetheart and marries her at once, to save himself from Gale.
