RomanceDrama
One day, following a grueling performance at a nightclub, jazz-cabaret star Astrov wakes up in his hotel room to find an underage fan in his bed. The girl claims that Astrov raped her and threatens to jump from the balcony. An alert chambermaid immediately calls the police, and a terrible scandal erupts… The tabloid press rubs its hands in gleeful anticipation, certain that the jazz musician is about to be thrown behind bars for the defilement of an underage orphan—a girl whose mother died in childbirth… Yet, in the end, Astrov’s honor is vindicated, and the girl’s innocence is proven.
