Pretty young seamstress Doria Dane is discovered by a motion picture producer, who transforms her into a film star and then proposes. Doria, however, has fallen in love with a sculptor named George Steele, who has asked her to pose for his statue, "American Militant." Under Doria's influence, George concentrates on his work and avoids his frivolous Greenwich Village friends, with the result that he wins a prestigious award for the statue. Basking in the limelight, George neglects Doria and falls prey to the fashionable Mrs. Schuyler, a wealthy widow who wants him for herself. George's friends are horrified when Doria bursts into his studio and shatters his masterpiece, but soon afterwards, she leads him into artist Harry North's studio, where the statue is standing intact. After explaining that she destroyed only Harry's replica of the work, Doria accepts George's heartfelt apology, and the two are reunited.

Doria Dane, a motion picture star, is attracted by the genius of George Steele, a sculptor, and becomes his model. She abandons her own career to advance his interests, but Steele tires of her and turns his attentions to Mrs. Schuyler, a wealthy dabbler in art. Doria realizes that her hold on him is lost. A few days later all are aghast when she enters his studio, where a group of friends are admiring his masterpiece, and shatters it with the remark that as he has broken her heart so she destroys his statue, but she shows the repentant Steele his own statue in the apartments of a neighbor and explains that the statue she destroyed was one the envious artist had copied. Steele realizes at last that her love is far deeper than the whim of the society woman.—Moving Picture World synopsis
