Plot

Stephen Arnold, a painter, dreams of a beautiful love scene in a forest involving a faun and a wood-nymph that is interrupted by the daughter of Pan. In the dream, Pan's daughter lures the faun away from his beloved wood-nymph with her magic flute. When he awakens from his dream, he decides to capture the image of Pan's daughter on canvas and goes in search of a suitable model. He meets Caprice, a dancer who strangely resembles Pan's daughter as seen in his dream. Stephen convinces the girl to pose for him and he soon becomes entranced by her. His wife Marian becomes jealous at her husband's neglect of her and she strikes up a relationship with Arthur Farrell, her husband's best friend. Farrell falls in love with Marian and makes advances towards her, but she keeps him at arm's length.
