Synopsis
Elsie Duchanier, the maid of the star dancer in Brunel's Follies, falls in love with Capt. Tom Kendrick, an American soldier stationed in France. Kendrick is reassigned to the United States, and Dr. La Pierre, who is also in love with Elsie, tells her that she has only one year to live. Elsie then accepts Maurice Brunel's offer to make her the main attraction of his new follies. Elsie soon becomes famous and is showered with gifts and attention, but she does not submit to Brunel's advances, the price he demands for making her a star. Tom returns to France and meets La Pierre, who confesses that his "one year to live" warning to Elsie was an unsuccessful attempt at seduction. La Pierre also tells Tom of Brunel's desire for Elsie, and Tom finds her just in time to prevent Brunel's unwelcome advances. Elsie and Tom are happily reunited.
