Virginia, who was born the sweetheart of Charles, since the early days of their youth, becomes obsessed with the idea that he loves her for her beauty alone and fears that it will fade.

Virginia’s home burns and she is rescued by the gallant Charles, who almost loses his life and is blinded, Virginia, recovering, sends him a note releasing him from his engagement, and the artist, whose ardor has cooled, tells her that her beauty has been destroyed forever.
