David Burson, Sr., a wealthy businessman, makes strenuous attempts to induce his son, Dave, to follow in his own footsteps, Dave, however, cares nothing for business and stubbornly follows his natural bent, painting. In exasperation, his father finally disinherits him, and the young man is left to his own resources. A prize of $500 is offered by the Atala Art Club for the best picture submitted by a certain date, on the subject of tragedy. Young Burson decides to enter the contest. He rents a cheap studio with his last money and starts to work on his masterpiece. He finds himself at a loss for a subject and is almost despairing, when one day he chances to witness a pathetic automobile accident in which a beautiful young Italian girl's baby brother is killed. The expression on the girl's face at this time suggests to young Burson the subject for his painting of "Tragedy." He seeks out and engages the girl for his model. She, unknown to him, is also an artist. Three days before the contest is to close, and just as Dave's picture is nearing completion, he meets with an accident and is unable to reach his studio. On the day before the end of the contest, Marie, the model, alarmed at Dave's disappearance, and almost frantic for fear that he won't be represented in it, takes things into her own hands and completes the painting. Some days later, Dave, upon returning to the studio, finds that his painting has won the first prize. Explanations follow and Dave repays Marie by placing an engagement ring on her finger.
