Jimmie, the long-lost daughter of wealthy Jacob Blum, grows up under the oppression of her guardian, restauranteur Vincenzo Carlotti, who keeps her identity a secret and tries to pass his own daughter off as the missing heiress.

But Jimmie works away, dreams, and on her own becomes a successful cabaret star.
