Max Desci, a teacher from the great city, hears her sing one Sunday and immediately offers to educate her, so she goes away amid tears of farewell. Among the patrons of Desci's atelier is Paul Marchmont. a young millionaire, who is immediately enamored by the voice and becomes the shadow of the young singer. Their engagement is to be announced the night of her debut. Poor Vale, longing for his sweetheart who has wandered to the city, accidentally oversees a scene that confirms the report. The night of her debut, "stage-fright" paralyzes her vocal chords and an eminent specialist, immediately summoned, declares she will never sing again. When Marchmont hears this he leaves the city, sending her a note that their engagement must be indefinitely postponed. Discouraged, the broken girl returns to the countryside, and when time has healed the cruel wounds, she marries the faithful friend and lover, Vale. One day, after the baby comes, she is seized with an uncontrollable desire to sing, and all the pent-up fonts of song, inspired by the mother love, break forth. Her husband is delighted, and they pick up matters where they dropped so pitifully, and she makes a wonderfully successful debut under the direction of Desci. She gives the fawning Marchmont the grand "cut-out," and her husband and child are her single thought, as the tumult of her rapturous listeners storms her ears in her hour .of triumph.
