In London's Jewish quarter, a joke in which Sam places his engagement ring on Hannah's finger leads to a religious divorce. Hannah later falls in love with David, but learns that, as a divorced woman, she cannot marry him because he is a Kohen; she must choose between eloping and remaining with her father and faith.
Orphaned Mary Ann works in a South London lodging house, where she meets Lancelot, a baronet’s younger son who has abandoned inheritance to compose music. Their affection grows as she inspires his creativity, but he refuses to marry her while she is poor; after she inherits a fortune, their paths separate. Six years later, Mary Ann returns to him in her old apron, and the pair are reunited.
Russian Jewish immigrant David Quixano, whose family was killed in a pogrom, hopes to compose a symphony for a society beyond ethnic divisions; he falls in love with Vera, whose father led the attack on his family.
