Romantic melodrama of a young composer living in Switzerland with his mentor and the man's four young daughters, one of whom is secretly in love with the dashing composer. When the mentor dies, a wealthy uncle comes to take the girls to England. With him is his daughter, whom the composer marries after a whirlwind courtship. Back in England, however, he's suffocated by his new life of money and prestige, and his music suffers.
