Although Jackson realizes that he is buying the girl, his affection for her is decent enough and it may be that he figures he is doing Alice a good turn in taking her away from her father. He does not know, however, that between the girl and a certain Allesandro Ettori, instructor in a drawing school to which Alice has been going, there has sprung up a great attraction. Alice cannot force herself to break off her relations, innocent enough, with the young Italian. She does not tell him of the marriage her father has arranged for her, yet she is frightened because of the obvious passion the drawing instructor shows toward her. Ettori's attentions to Alice have aroused the jealousy of Maria Ferone, the model of the school. This young woman is a simple sort of person who has worshiped Ettori for a long time, and who, although really expecting no return for her devotion, is happy when she can serve him slavishly and follow him about with dog-like care. Alice finally leaves the school and her fellow students give her a farewell supper. To this affair she brings Jackson and for the first time announces her approaching marriage. The students rejoice, but Ettori is thunder-struck. Maria is pleased, because she now feels that Ettori will have more thought for her. Ettori, in his own chamber, where he has erected a sort of shrine to Alice, upbraids the girl for her faithlessness. She almost succumbs to his reproaches and advances, but the entrance of Jackson saves her. Later they are married and, as she soon finds out, unhappily. Maria also suffers, in spite of the fact that she and Ettori would now be closer together. Once Ettori, supposedly sketching her, is so obsessed with the thought of Alice, that he draws her instead of the model. Unable to be without a sight of her, he rushes to her house and finds her in her own studio hard at work to forget the incompatibility that lies between herself and her husband. Ettori's attractions again overpower her, and she realizes her love for him but sends him away. Jackson, learning of Ettori's visit, is overcome with jealousy. He accuses his wife of loving Ettori and in a rough marital way, forces her to kiss him, whereupon she breaks from him and, going to her room, writes him a note that she does love Ettori and that she is going to him. Meanwhile Ettori has returned to his room to find the shrine he has erected to Alice destroyed. Maria, in a jealous fit, has wrecked it. Maria hides behind a curtain and in terror watches Ettori's rage. Suddenly Alice comes in and tells Ettori she is ready to go with him. He rejoices and makes preparations to leave. Maria comes from hiding, locks the door and confronts Alice. Finding Alice unmoved, Maria pleads for Ettori, his career, his future but Alice is still unmoved. Ettori returns and to prevent his leaving with Alice, Maria stabs her. Maria slinks out of the studio and meets Jackson, hastening to find his wife and ask for forgiveness. When he asks for his wife, Maria can only point to the room, where she lies dying. He rushes into the room and sees his wife dying and hears her prayer for forgiveness.
