This is the motif of a theme worked out in this episode. Laura Price is the wife of a rising young architect. Tom Price. Her voice brings her fame and adoration, much to the discomfort and final jealousy of her husband, for whom she finally commits an offense for which the law prescribes a terrific penalty.
