Jane discovers the state of affairs and plans to rid herself of her rival. Ralph finishes a portrait of Liane, which he intends to submit to the Academy; Jane, realizing that the artist intends to break their betrothal, cleverly arranges a denouement which causes Ralph to believe Liane unworthy of his love. Not content with what she has achieved, Jane, in her jealousy, resolves to destroy the portrait of her rival. She visits Ralph's studio during his absence. Just as the girl is about to slash the portrait, she hears someone coming. Alarmed, she hides behind the canvas. Her fiancé enters. In his bitterness, Ralph seizes a knife and drives it through the portrait, severely wounding Jane. The girl falls to the floor unconscious. The artist is horror-stricken. The janitor, who enters a moment later, sees the man standing over Jane's body with a knife in his hand. The man calls the police. Ralph is arrested. Jane is taken to the hospital, where her life is despaired of. As a last resort, the surgeons suggest the transfusion of blood. Hearing of this, Liane offers to undergo the operation. Jane's life is saved. Remorse-stricken, the girl confesses. Ralph is freed. To make amends, Jane requests that Liane and Ralph become man and wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
