San Franzisko (1936)
Die arme Sängerin Mary Blake kommt nach San Francisco und nimmt einen Job als Sängerin in der Spielhalle von Blackie Norton an. Das Ambiente ist deutlich unter dem Niveau ihrer Stimme, doch selbst als ihr ein lukratives Opernengagement ins Haus steht und der reiche Jack Burley will Blackie sie nicht ziehen lassen und pocht auf ihren Vertrag. Schließlich verläßt sie ihn einfach und ihre Stimme kann sogar den rachsüchtigen Norton überzeugen, der ihr daraufhin einen Heiratsantrag macht. Doch die Hochzeit platzt und Nortons Halle muß wegen Erfolglosigkeit schließen. Gerade als es bei einem Gesangswettbewerb zum Eklat kommt, erschüttert das große Erdbeben von 1906 die Stadt und zerstört sie weitläufig...
