Plot Summary

Nanine and Yolande are two quaint, charming peasant girls of Middle France. Often have they heard of the large city of Paris, but never have they seen or tasted of its pleasures. They are entirely contented with their lot, however and never expect to get much further than their parental dwelling, until one afternoon, when the two girls, in company of two young peasant admirers, while frolicking over the fields, intrude upon the privacy of Maurice Crosby, the noted French artist. Crosby becomes fascinated with Nanine. He pays Nanine a visit, only to be reprimanded by her father. Excusing himself for the intrusion, the artist takes his departure, only after leaving his address with the young peasantess, and assuring her that he would want to be the first one to give her assistance any time she might be in need of same. An opportunity for calling upon Maurice was soon granted through an accident which befell the girl's father. Nanine writes him of her plight. The artist sends back hasty word for her to come on to him where she can find honest work. Nanine and Yolande leave for Paris in all their peasant finery, and arrive at their benefactor's studio. Crosby, however, is able to make good use of them, and is even inspired by their presence. The preference that he seems to pay to Nanine soon arouses the jealousy of Yolande, who quarrels with her sister and makes her feel so uncomfortable that she decides to return home. As she leaves the door to start her homeward journey, Maurice intercepts her, and refusing to listen to her reason for going home, pledges her his love, with the result that they are married. Thus is the dainty little Nanine properly rewarded. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
