Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] Tom Richards is a budding violinist in Paris, but his teacher believes he lacks the soul to ever become really great. He thinks if he suffers he will arrive so he arranges a scheme with the young woman Tom loves. She takes a position as a cabaret dancer and he finds her there. He is torn with anguish and he seeks expression in playing his violin. He plays then as he has never played before and the teacher then reveals the plot and the two are reunited.
