Synopsis
Wealthy young sculptor Harold Harcourt has always used his wife Elena as his model and inspiration. But after a few years he aspires to create a magnificent work of art… a statue of "Youth," yet feels Elena lacks that indefinable "something," which spells Youth. Callously disregarding her feelings, he tells her she is too old turning to Ione whom he sees as the perfect model for his greatest work. As the inevitable follows Elena, broken-hearted, turns to former suitor Julian, who offers solace. Tempted to run away with Julian, she instead goes away alone leaving a note for her husband saying she trusts in him to save the situation. Conscience stricken, he smashes the work of art he has created to make amends and secure his wife's forgiveness.
