As described in a film magazine review, [4] in Paris, Elise is maid to the great dancer, Lolette. Tom Kendrick comes to bid Lolette farewell, and is intrigued when he watches Elise's dancing when she believes herself alone. He falls in love with her, and deserts Lolette for her at the ball given in his theatre by Brunel, getting Elise in bad with Lolette. He declares his love, promises to write every day of his trip back to the United States and his return, after he is discharged from the army. Dr. Lapierre, who attends Elise's bed-ridden sister, Marthe, loves Elise, bribes the janitor to destroy Kendrick's letters and tells Elise she has but a year to live. Seemingly neglected by Kendrick, and with no money to leave to care for Marthe, Elise promises to become Brunel's mistress when he has made a great star out of her. Kendrick returns on the night Brunel claims his reward. Lapierre confesses his deception, Marthe recovers, and Elise refuses to fulfill her bargain. She convinces Kendrick of her innocence and they are reconciled.
With no prints of One Year to Live located in any film archives, it is considered a lost film. [5]
