Depuis le retour chez lui de Viktor Lorenz, chef d'orchestre de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et prisonnier de guerre, il n'a plus aucun lien avec le secteur de la musique. Les années d'inaction l'ont rendu triste et maussade. Sa fille Sabine, qui travaille assidûment pour le garagiste Freitag et doit principalement servir les clients des stations-service, ne veut plus regarder le découragement de son père et décide ensuite d'agir de manière dynamique. Elle souhaite désespérément que Papa Viktor se produise à nouveau en tant que violon soliste, car elle sait que c'est toute sa vie. Avec une endurance infatigable, l'adolescente, soutenue par Wölfchen Freitag, presque du même âge, le fils du patron, et fait appel à d'autres violonistes, pianistes et flûtistes, souvent au chômage ou jouant pour des fêtes de famille, parfois très âgés, jusqu'à obtenir un orchestre symphonique complet de 99 hommes. L'un d'entre eux, Martin Mansfeld, était présent lorsque Viktor Lorenz, qui n'a pas le droit de tout savoir sur les efforts de Sabine, a donné son premier concert.

Dr. Alfred Morris (Zucco) is curious about the effects of an ancient nerve gas, used by the Mayans during rituals of human dissection to appease their gods. He takes medical student Ted Allison (David Bruce) under his wing to assist him with his experiments in using the gas on modern animals. However, despite Ted's enthusiasm for the success of their effort to revive Morris' dead monkey Choco (who was earlier exposed to the gas and died) by using a fluid from the heart of another creature, Ted also has on his mind his girlfriend Isabel Lewis (Evelyn Ankers), of whom Morris has also become enamored.
