Struggling composer Franz von Suppé admires the works of Jacques Offenbach and wants to emulate him. However the owner of the theatre where he works is uninterested in his talents and only wants to stage Offenbach.

He marries her, but their relationship is threatened by the Countess Coralie Barany who turns his head.
