Synopsis

Après des études en Europe, Ethel Warren revient faire des débuts à New York avec la compagnie d'opéra dont Jean Paurel, un baryton de renommée mondiale, est la vedette. Carlo Sonino, un autre membre de la troupe, tombe amoureux d'Ethel et la prévient contre les avances du célèbre chanteur. Paurel s'amourache d'Ethel, provoquant ainsi la jalousie de la prima donna, Sabotini. Quand, après le premier acte, Ethel apprend que Paurel a eu une attaque à la gorge, elle se rue dans les coulisses. Carlo, prévenu par Sabotini, la suit et lui fait une scène, ce à quoi elle répond en annonçant ses fiançailles avec Paurel. Ce dernier étant incapable de jouer le deuxième acte, Carlo prend sa place et est très applaudi. Après que Paurel apprend qu'il ne pourra jamais plus chanter, Bianca, une chanteuse à la retraite et le premier amour de Paurel, lui apprend que Carlo est leur fils et supplie Paurel de laisser Ethel pour le bonheur du jeune homme. Finalement il accepte.
