Synopsis

In Florida, Consuelo Cox falls in love with Sir Roy Martel, a wealthy Englishman, and accepts his proposal of marriage. Quickly discovering that Roy's love is of the basest kind, however, Consuelo breaks off the engagement and goes to Paris, where she becomes a dancer and falls in love with Noel Anson. Sir Roy, also in Paris, becomes jealous and blackmails Consuelo's dancing partner into injuring her during one of their dance routines. As if this were not enough, Sir Roy then dupes Consuelo into visiting the apartment of a notorious roué, arranging for Noel to be there as well. Noel believes in Consuelo's innocence, however, and takes her away from the wild party. Sir Roy goes mad, and Consuelo comforts him in his dying hours, herself finding sustenance in Noel's love.
