Running away from home after his stepfather threatens him with reform school, young Frankie (Gene Reynolds) attends a concert by Jascha Heifetz that turns his life around. Stumbling upon a settlement house where free music lessons are given to the poor, Frankie studies the violin until the school's financial woes inspire him to organize a benefit concert headlined by Heifetz to prevent the school from being closed.
