Summaries

An opera manager tries to woo a contract-breaking soprano into performing in Buenos Aires.

Theater manager James Guthrie's career depends on famed soprano Elsa Terry singing in his Buenos Aires opera house, but she breaks the contract in favor of a more lucrative deal in Paris. Desperate, James showers her with flowers and candy in an attempt to woo her to the Argentinian opera house. When Elsa overhears James confess to his friend Pancho that he'd be willing to resort to kidnapping to get Elsa to Argentina, she mistakenly believes his motives to be solely romantic.—L. Hamre
