Synopsis
Neil McRae, an impecunious composer of serious music, is forced to orchestrate jazz scores to make a living. Although he is in love with Cynthia, a lovely and equally impoverished painter, he gives in to the urging of Dr. Rice and proposes to Gladys Cady, a rich girl whom he instructs in music. She accepts. On the verge of psychological collapse, Neil is given medication and goes to sleep. He then has a nightmare in which the vulgarity of the Cady family is greatly magnified. When he awakens, Neil gratefully returns to Cynthia.
