Pierre Fournel is a violinist living in a Canadian village with his sister, Gabrielle. Gabrielle is tricked into a mock marriage by Rouget, but she keeps the matter secret from her brother. Two New Yorkers, Kathleen Noyes and her fiancé Rupert Blake, arrive in the village, where Kathleen takes an interest in Pierre. Blake tries to discredit him. Pierre discovers that his sister has a child, and takes her and the child to New York. Unable to sell any of his compositions, Pierre takes a job in a café, where he is discovered by Kathleen. She invites him to play at her home. Blake directs Rouget to steal Kathleen's jewels, and Gabrielle is blamed. To protect his sister, Pierre declares that he stole the jewels, and Kathleen refuses to press charges. Eventually, Pierre learns the truth about the Rouget's shame marriage and compels Rouget to marry Gabrielle. Kathleen and Blake are about to be married when Rouget exposes Blake. Kathleen then seeks forgiveness from Pierre.—scsu1975
