Robert proposes to Dawn, but she refuses him, feeling that such a step would hinder her operatic career, but as soon as he leaves, she changes her mind and writes him a note asking him to return, which she intends to send the following morning. That night she encounters a burglar in her home, and the shock brings on temporary paralysis of the throat, which causes her to lose the faculty of speech. When she realizes that she cannot speak, perhaps for years, she tears up the note to Joyce and leaves for her summer home with her mother and faithful Leppo. Months later she accidentally encounters Robert and the love tangle is smoothed out, but not until Leppo, who has taken a decided dislike to Robert, tries to kill him and is stopped by Dawn who, through fright, regains her voice.tries to take his life.
