The story

The opera season has opened in New York City, and building contractor Leonard Borland, who comes from a working-class background, is coping with the musical ambitions of his wife Doris, who is from a socially prominent family. Despite his misgivings that she has no talent, she is being trained for a career in singing by the voice teacher Hugo. Doris prepares for a recital that Leonard supports, hoping that will get singing "out of her system." The performance is witnessed by opera singer Cecil Carver, who is attracted to Leonard and believes that Doris lacks sufficient talent to become a pro.
