Jane is the secretary of a famous American actress. She travels to an estate in France owned by a world-renowned singer ahead of her employer and encounters a mysterious man. In the days that follow, she falls head over heels in love with him, and to her shock, soon discovers that the mystery man is, in fact, the famous singer called Etienne. Surely she does not have a future with this brilliant and influential figure — or does she? Set in picturesque France, the memorable love tale written by Mary Whistler, a pseudonym of Ida Pollock, dates back to the 20th century.
