Synopsis
Audrey Munson, who works as an artist's model, is asked by a Greenwich Village painter to pose for him at night. Finding that his intentions are not wholly artistic, she flees from the studio and is found wandering in a storm by a kindly old man who takes her in and introduces her to a celebrated sculptor. Inspired by her, he obtains her consent to pose in the nude for a sculpture to be called "Body and Soul." The sculptor's wife, jealous of his art, falls prey to the attentions of the painter, and a model whom the painter has seduced, intent on killing him, informs the sculptor. Audrey, who has become infatuated with the sculptor, pretends drunkenness, and in disgust he destroys his masterpiece. Ultimately she effects a reconciliation between the sculptor and his wife.

Notes
At the New York premiere at the Greenwich Village Theatre, a prolog was given by "The Spirit of the Arch," and small side screens were used to show a portion of the action, with cast members enacting stage tableaux of the incidents shown after the main screen was raised.
