In 1905 Louisiana, Pepe Abellard Duvalle, a bayou fisherman with a natural singing talent, falls in love with Suzette Micheline, an opera soprano singer. Micheline’s manager hears Duvalle sing and invites him to sing in New Orleans. Duvalle reluctantly allows himself to be groomed for the opera. At first resistant to his advances, Micheline also falls in love with Duvalle, but she is disenchanted by his transformation into a cultured gentleman. Duvalle ultimately regains his former rough charm and unites with Micheline(Visited 41 times, 1 visits today)
