A young country woman with an arresting voice arrives in the city and is taken up by a theatre manager who gives her a stage name; her sudden success provokes fierce jealousy in the established prima donna, who plots to undermine her. Critics and colleagues respond to her beauty and apparent virtue while she confronts temptation, exploitation, and reputation risks.
