The brilliant violinist Paganini was not only in demand in the concert hall, but also with women. When the jealous duke of Toscana suspects that Paganini is having an affair with his wife, he sics his henchmen on the musician. Paganini flees and finds refuge with a theatrical troupe. The artiste Bella falls in love with the violinist and helps him flee into the duchy of Napoleon’s sister, Anna Elisa. When she, in turn, hears him play, she summons him to her castle and it’s not long before she forgets all affairs of state because of Paganini.

A struggling composer gets one of his pieces into a film program and his wife captures the lead part in the production as well.

Biopic of composer conductor Carl Maria von Weber, who championed the little regarded German opera instead of the then popular Italian opera, in the 19th Century.
