- Jacques Bernard, a celebrated painter, with his daughter, Yvonne, is spending the summer at a rural village near the sea. His great love for the water and its artistic possibilities draw him frequently to the shore where he one day meets Jeanne Bordas, dreaming of her absent sailor lover, in its rock-bound solitude. Some time later the artist's admiration for the simple peasant girl has prompted him to engage her as a model. Jeanne is poor and her father's death left her with little but his old debts. These she is able to pay through the income from her work with Bernard in addition to which the wages, though small, afford greater comfort than had hitherto been possible. About this time Henri returns from his long sea trip on the "Amphitrite," the joy of the reunited lovers being complete. The furlough is short, however, and the girl is soon left to herself. She again takes up her congenial work with Bernard, where interruptions are made pleasant by the association with the daughter Yvonne. A shadow soon darkens the happiness of the girl, for news comes that the good ship "'Amphitrite" has gone down with all on board. Bernard, attracted by the youth of his model, has eventually become a slave to her charms. He is called back to his city home and persuades Jeanne to accompany him. Working together, the man and the maid, Bernard's love deepens till he dares hope for a happy future, but news of the rescue of the girl's former lover threatens destruction to his love dreams. Jeanne in the meantime takes up her daily task, having long since given up any thought of seeing the loved one again. Henri finally succeeds in reaching his sweetheart's home, only to find it deserted. Hoping against hope, he seeks her at the home of her benefactor to find it too, deserted, but his quest promises fair of success, for he obtains there the city address of Bernard, where he goes in search of Jeanne. The sumptuous surroundings under which he finds his sweetheart arouse the jealousy of the already over-wrought man, but the true quality of her constant devotion disperses the fears that would come between them and their joy in the unexpected reunion knows no bounds.—Moving Picture World synopsis
