Dans une petite principauté d’Europe centrale, au milieu du XIX siècle, la jolie chanteuse Christine Holm est invitée à chanter au concert de cour du Prince. Le charme de Christine séduit le lieutenant Walter d'Arnegg, fils du ministre d'État de son Altesse. Mais leur liaison fait scandale et Christine doit partir. Elle en est d'autant plus désolée qu'elle pensait découvrir l'identité de son père dont elle ne sait rien, dans ce petit État où sa mère, chanteuse elle aussi, était venue chanter bien des années auparavant. Apprenant l'annulation de son concert, le Prince la fait rappeler et demande à la connaître. Charmé à son tour, le Prince promet de l'aider dans ses recherches sur son père. Le seul indice dont dispose Christine est une chanson que chantait sa mère à l'homme qu'elle aimait. Le Prince reconnaît la chanson et se souvient de son aventure amoureuse avec une belle chanteuse, 25 ans auparavant : Christine est sa fille, elle chantera le soir au concert de cour, et épousera le lieutenant Walter.
