We see a young artist’s model getting himself into all kinds of trouble through his mischievousness, In the first place, he goes into the kitchen and puts an old shoe into the soup, and when the cook discovers it, she is furious. Next he meets a girl on the stairs carrying a case of wine, and in his gallant manner offers to assist her. She gladly assents, and takes the case, but locks her in an apartment and makes his way to the studio on the top floor where he opens the wine and has a merry time until the artist comes in, when he is ordered to pose for a picture, but is in no condition to stand still, so makes a very bad job of the affair. An old connoisseur comes in and the mischievous man gets a fishing line and attaches the hook to the old fellow’s wig, pulling it off, and has a hearty laugh at the bald-beaded old fellow’s expense. The mischievous fellow goes to the window and is attracted by the fair maiden in a window on the opposite side of the street. He flirts with her and becomes so annoying that she reports his attentions to her employer, who comes over to complain of him to the artist. When the artist hears of his actions he is horrified and kicks him out of the studio. The old man, now feeling satisfied, begins taking some of the pictures and makes arrangements with the artist to paint a picture of his daughter. The next picture shows the painter in the home of the young maiden, where he is just putting the finishing touches on her portrait, but in the course of the operation he has fallen desperately in love with her and proposes to her. She takes the question to the father, who gladly gives his consent, and as he is about to give his blessings to the happy couple, in rushes the mischievous model, who claims a commission for his service in bringing the lovers together through his flirting across the street. The happy old man gives him a good reward and he departs, after congratulating the happy pair.
