Synopsis

In Naples, chemistry student Gino becomes so distracted by the musical theatre revue troupe staying at his boarding house that he fails his exam. However Edith, the theatre's secretary, discovers that he has a great talent as a singer and persuaded her boss to hire him. A tour in Germany launches Gino as a popular star. Edith is in love with the young Italian, but his eye is entirely for the company's diva, soubrette Jeannette. When Gino is wrongly accused of theft it is Edith, rather than the selfish Jeanette, who clears him.
