Dick Heldar is briefly blinded when his girlfriend Maisie accidentally fires his pistol too close to his head. Years later, Dick is a British soldier in the Sudan. He turns to painting to try to make a living. When his works start to sell, he returns to England. He is persuaded to sanitize his gritty realism to make his works more attractive to the masses. One night, Dick returns to his lodgings to find a young, bedraggled woman (Ida Lupino) lying on his sofa. She is the ideal model for "Melancholia"
