She has certain depths of character, however, which have never been sounded. Wearied by a succession of social triumphs, she departs for a village on the seacoast, where she intends to rest. While walking on the sands of the seashore she discovers Elsa and Karl, two village lovers, who rejoice in the affection of each other. Gay, the social butterfly, without thinking of the consequences, engages in a flirtation with Karl and he becomes enamored of her beauty and charms. Elsa discovers the falsity of her lover and pleads with the "butterfly" to release him. Gay has unsuspectingly fallen deeply in love with Karl and hotly refuses to give him up at first, but finally agrees to give him back to Elsa. When Karl next calls on her at the hotel, she treats him coldly and sends him back to Elsa. Gay goes home and marries a wealthy suitor, but the picture of Karl remains indelibly upon her heart as a penalty of her flirtation. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
