This was Kaufman's last film before his death on February 1, 1918, very early on during the 1918 flu pandemic.

[1][2] The story was remade as Lily of the Dust (1924) with Pola Negri and Ben Lyon.

They fall in love, but the sculptor fears the effect of marriage on his work and neglects Lily.

Ultimately, in despair, she marries a wealthy older man but does not find happiness there.

For example, the Chicago Board of Censors issued the film an Adults Only permit.
