Plot
As described in a film magazine,[2] Musette is a Parisian artist's model who applies to a rich American artist seeking a subject. She has already met him and is brought to his house by his automobile. he becomes interested in her but, when he later goes to call on her, finds a baby of a neighbor in her bed. Depressed by what he believes is continental immorality, he gives her the American high hat. That evening he finds her at a hall where she has had a trifle too much champagne. When he accuses her of loose living, she considers committing suicide. An old professor, feeling sorry for her, takes Musette home with him. There she shocks the professor when she drinks, without knowing what it is, a bottle containing his newly discovered youth-bringing formula. The American, having seen the young woman disappear, gets the baby and brings it to the professor's apartment. The young woman is finally able to explain to the artist that the child is not hers. The professor later returns to his apartment and, finding the baby instead of the young woman, believes his serum has been a tremendous success.
