An opera manager tries to woo a soprano back to his company.

James Guthrie and his pal, Pancho Brown, visit theatrical agent Will Kane because they are concerned that Madame Della is preventing her niece, opera singer Elsa Terry, from fulfilling a contract to perform in Buenos Aires, as she has received a better offer to sing in Paris. Guthrie and Pancho attend Elsa's performance in La traviata , but Guthrie is unable to meet her when he sneaks backstage between acts. The next day Guthrie deluges Elsa's apartment with candy and flowers, and that night he and Pancho attend her performance of Martha . Pancho is not the only one in the audience who is bored, and his game of dice becomes popular during the show. In order to meet Elsa, Guthrie rents an apartment next to hers. Elsa is friendly, and Guthrie even succeeds in making friends with the authoritarian Della. Guthrie and Elsa subsequently go out every night. Overhearing Guthrie tell Pancho that he will have to abduct Elsa if she will not go to Buenos Aires with him, she decides to refuse to go in order to enjoy being kidnapped. That night, Elsa tells Guthrie she has decided against going to Argentina with him, and she later allows herself to be put on the wrong boat with him. Guthrie has fallen in love with Elsa, but when she receives a telegram from Della explaining that Guthrie romanced her only to get her to sing in Argentina, she refuses to speak with him. Desperately, Guthrie abducts her again and takes her to his hacienda, but releases her in time for opening night. After the next performance, Pancho kidnaps Guthrie and takes him to the hacienda where Elsa, who realizes that they really love each other, is waiting for him.
