Plot
This plot summary appeared in The Moving Picture World for June 10, 1916:[2]
Woes of a penniless artist whose model is an heiress, but doesn't know it, give a sprightly turn to the events which succeed each other rapidly in "Hungry Hearts," the Vim comedy release of June 15. A patron wishes to buy a full-length study of the girl en deshabille. Rather than submit her beauty to the gaze of alien eyes, the artist destroys the picture when temptation proves too strong. For this and other acts of faithfulness he wins a rich reward.
