Synopsis

[edit]

Jeanne Fabian is a singer celebrated for her role as Madame Dubarry, but her financial backing from a wealthy admirer leads to criticism. She decides to change her name and look and start again from her beginnings to prove she really is talented. She falls in love with a man she takes to be poor, but is in fact a wealthy car manufacturer.
