Synopsis

With only a card of introduction to a music impresario, singer Margaret Brooke goes to the city to establish her career. Once there, she meets Jack Martin, a young violinist, who falls in love with her. The impresario introduces her to art patron Mrs. Philip Waring, whose husband offers her an apartment under the pretext that it belongs to a traveling friend. After Philip makes advances to Margaret, she realizes her naïveté, but Jack refuses to believe her story. She then appeals to the impresario for help, who also attempts to take advantage of her. After finally persuading Jack of her innocence, he writes an opera which catapults Margaret to success, and as the curtain rings down, the two new stars on the operatic horizon announce their marriage.
