Young sculptors George Barr and Howard Sloane are contenders in a prize contest for the most artistic statue to be finished and presented at the art school within the month. Neither one has sufficient capital to employ a model, but together they start out to find someone who will pose for the statue and take a chance on getting paid. They accidentally come upon a company of moving-picture actors who are rehearsing a scene. In leading lady Violet Horner, the boys see a wonderful subject for the statue. They make her acquaintance, and after telling her the situation they prevail upon her to pose for them. During the sittings the boys fall in love with her, but she cannot decide which one she prefers. Barr's statue turns out better. Sloane realizes this and one afternoon when the studio is locked and the statues covered, Sloane sneaks in and, without removing the cover, smashes the statue which he thinks is Barr's, but is actually his; in cleaning up, the maid changed the positions of the statues. Sloane's perfidy is not discovered until the day of the contest. Violet, while in the studio looking over some picture films, comes upon a piece that was taken by one of the Imp cameramen on the afternoon that Sloane smashed the statue. She telephones to the hall where the contest is being decided and requests the judges to delay their decision until she arrives. She jumps into an auto and is rushed to the scene of the contest. Sloane is denounced and Barr is awarded the prize. Violet accepts Barr's offer to pilot her through life.
