Synopsis
At the height of his success musician John Arden loses his hearing as the result of an explosion. His young wife's devotion is sorely tested by his melancholy and cynicism, but her sense of duty prevents Marjorie from leaving him for Philip Stevens. At the point of suicide, John discovers that other people have greater problems, and he turns to philanthropy. His hearing is restored after a fall, and John realizes his wife's loyalty.
