Synopsis: [From Biograph promotional materials] An eccentric Frenchman passing along the avenue, hears the sound of a beautiful voice and forthwith falls in love with the unseen singer, assuming that she must be as charming as her voice.

When he does present himself, he finds the beautiful voice pouring from the horn of a phonograph and the recipient of his offerings an antiquated piece of effusive femininity.
