The great Czech composer, Anton Dvorak, comes incognito to Willow Falls, a settlement of Bohemian lumberman in the Middle West. The real power is Ma Flannagan who is buying up land but concealing the fact that a railroad is to pass right through the town. Her scheme is hindered, however, when her only son falls in love with Karolka, a new and pretty Czech immigrant. Karolka's Uncle Marek also thwarts her plans. Dvorak not only takes a job playing the piano at "Flannagans" but plays poker to pay off Marek's tax debts. He learns from Abe, a negro man of all work, the theme for his New World Symphony. After forcing Ma Flannagan to pay a just price for Marek's land, he smoothes the path of true love between Karolka and Shaun, while enjoying a musical triumph in New York. |
