[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] under the patronage of Mrs. Thorndyke (Wise), who recognizes that her protege has a voice, selfish and pampered Aurora Meredith (Phillips) leaves her family and rustic lover Phineas Schudder (Anderson) in the little village of Pleasanton to take up a singing career.

After her first triumph he threatens to kill himself if she refuses to marry him, so to avoid him Aurora accepts an offer to appear in New York City.

There she meets the Duke of Devonshire (Elliott) who, in an effort to extract a promise of marriage, arranges for Aurora to be given the stellar role in a new opera.
