Aspiring opera singer Grace Moore moves to Italy in hopes of advancing her career. She is discovered singing in a pub by famous teacher Tullio Carminati, who takes her under his wing. She lives in his house and undergoes rigorous training for months before making her debut. Romantic entanglements ensue when they fall in love but won't admit it, confusing her other boyfriend Lyle Talbot. It all gets worked out in the end and she makes a successful debut at the Metropolitan Opera. I could do without all of the romantic nonsense, but the singing is good and there are extended scenes from Carmen and Madame Butterfly.
