While pretending to return his affection, the woman ensnares Eustace Kennedy, an invalid, and Stanhope's best friend. Eustace's sister, Claire, secretly loves the artist. While in the country, Stanhope meets George, a country boy who aspires to become an artist. He invites the lad to call upon him. Upon returning home, Stanhope discovers The Firefly's faithlessness and also her affair with Eustace. Heartbroken, the artist is about to commit suicide when the arrival of George stays his hand. A psychologist as well as an artist, Stanhope leaves for a distant city with George, after first drawing up a will bequeathing his soul and his paintings to Eustace. This done, the artist writes a note in which he declares his intention of committing suicide. The strange bequest has a remarkable effect upon Eustace. Believing he has really inherited Stanhope's soul, he becomes well and strong. In the distant city, Stanhope devotes himself to teaching George his own art. Some time later, however, an art dealer discovers that Stanhope is not dead, and informs him of the hold exerted over Eustace by The Firefly. Resolved to thwart the woman. Stanhope hurriedly returns home. He enters his studio just as Eustace, to gratify the siren's demands for money, is auctioning its effects. Confronted by the man he thought dead, and believing he has come to demand his soul, Eustace, unable to withstand the shock, drops dead. The Firefly flees from the city, while Stanhope, learning of Claire's love, eventually makes her his wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
