As described in a film magazine, Joline (Nazimova), a young dancer, attracts the attentions of a young artist, Paul (Bryant), and she consents to pose for him. He receives a commission to paint a picture of the Madonna beside a sacred rose bush at a monastery. Events bring Joline to a realization of her useless life and she leaves Paul to devote the rest of her life to a good cause.
