Mama Kantor est comblée car son jeune fils Leon montre un grand talent pour le violon. Après des années de pratique, Leon, devenu adulte, est devenu un violoniste renommé, ce qui lui permet de faire déménager sa famille du ghetto juif vers les beaux quartiers. Il demande en mariage la camarade de jeux de son enfance, Minnie Ginsberg, maintenant connue sous le nom de Gina Berg. Alors qu'il est au faite de sa carrière, la guerre est déclarée. Leon s'engage et est envoyé en France où il est sérieusement blessé au bras droit. Convaincu qu'il est handicapé à vie et ne sera plus capable de jouer, Leon rompt ses fiançailles avec Gina. Le cœur brisé, la jeune femme s'évanouit et Leon, se précipitant pour la retenir, l'attrape dans ses bras. Réalisant que sa force est revenue, Leon prend son violon et commence à jouer.
