Plot Synopsis

Sentimental drama with dreary musical numbers. A nightclub singer (Cicely Courtneidge) 'inherits' an orphaned niece and nephew. They believe her to be a farmer, so she buys a farm, but the strain of two lives causes her to quit her club. This inspires her greedy manager to have her declared as an unfit guardian for them. It’s left to a local magistrate to resolve matters.
