Although his works are devoid of talent, he is adopted by an intellectual clique and becomes the rage.

The paintings are seen by wealthy art connoisseur Sanders, who mistakes them for Hancock's work and arranges a show. Hancock's fame increases until finally he is overwhelmed by the magnitude of his deception and confesses that the paintings attributed to him were Massie's.
