A song suggested by Anna brings Franz fame and fortune. Infatuated by Vera, an actress, Franz urges her to elope with him. Because it means publicity, Vera consents. Later, however, she leaves Franz in the lurch. Ashamed to return home, Franz becomes a wanderer. Unable to compose new songs, the man is reduced to beggary. Anna, sure her husband will return, turns a deaf ear to the pleas of Maynard, a former suitor. While thinking of Franz one morning, the wife, seated at the piano, unconsciously composes a new song. A few streets away, the husband stands in the bread line. Mental telepathy causes the theme played by Anna to be repeated in Franz's mind. The man hastens to his publisher with whom the song finds instant favor. Franz swallows his pride and returns home. There he hears Anna playing the air. Astounded, the husband discovers the source of his inspiration. With head humbly bowed, Franz begs to be forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
