Trilby O'Farrell travaille comme modèle pour l'artiste anglais Little Billie et doit se marier avec lui. Mais le soir où leurs fiançailles doivent être annoncées, Svengali, un musicien ambulant qui a rencontré Trilby dans l'atelier de Billie au Quartier latin, l'hypnotise et l'emmène en Angleterre avec lui. Les pouvoirs de Svengali font que la voix criarde de Trilby se change en une belle voix d'opéra. Svengali fait d'elle l'une des grandes chanteuses européennes, et en tire un large profit. Durant l'entracte d'une représentation à laquelle Billie assiste, Svengali, qui souffre de la forte pression nerveuse dont il a besoin pour maintenir Trilby sous son influence, tombe de la scène et meurt. Quand le rideau s'ouvre, la voix de Trilby est redevenue normale et sans talent et elle est huée. Après une soirée célébrant la réunion de Trilby et Billie, Billie et ses amis entendent un cri et un bruit de chute alors qu'ils sont devant la porte de Trilby. Ils la trouvent morte devant un portrait grandeur nature de Svengali qui semble les regarder.
