Eddie, an artist, is hard up. His pal, Lee, is likewise short of cash. Eddie gets a note from Ramona telling him that he is too cheap to suit her, and all is over between them. Eddie rushes out and bumps into an unfortunate individual, who resents it. In a hurry he placates the old man by giving him his card. Eddie rushes to a telephone and calls Ramona up. She is unforgiving. He bumps into another old man and does more placating with his card. He seeks Ramona, makes up and agrees to take her to dinner that evening. He borrows Lee's last dollar. Ramona passes up the cheaper restaurants and insists upon Delmonico's. As they enter, Eddie buys a paper. The newsboy runs off with the dollar. Eddie pursues and when he catches the boy, the latter swears he swallowed the money. Ramona finishes her meal alone and parts with her weekly paycheck. Eddie, despondent, returns to the studio. The first man Eddie had given a card to decides life is not worth living. Lee on the street reads of the suicide and that a card found on the man gave the name of Eddie Dauber, artist. He meets Ramona, whose anger turns to sorrow when she hears the news. The following morning, Lee reads that Eddie has won the first prize at the Academy. He goes to the studio and finds Eddie fast asleep. Connoisseurs call at the studio and ask for the dead "master's" paintings. Eddie goes into an inner room while Lee sells the first one for $2,000. One comes after another. The paintings give out. Eddie paints away for dear life to supply the rushing demand. Finally Ramona comes to seek sympathy from Lee. Eddie gets an idea and paints some forget-me-nots. She takes it home and is foolish enough to kiss it. The paint comes off on her nose. She scents a rat and takes the picture to the police station. A detective goes with her to the studio. The detective asks for a painting. Lee says he thinks there is just one more. The painting is delivered. The detective smears his fingers across the fresh painting and takes Lee into custody. Ramona enters, and so does Eddie, and in her delight at seeing him alive, the detective is dismissed and happiness reigns supreme. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
