Allan Wayworth, a struggling young dramatist, finds refuge in the golden drawing-room of the gracious Mrs. Alsager, who encourages him to read her his new play. When the play is finally staged, the actress cast as its heroine cannot seem to grasp her, and the question of who truly understands Nona Vincent leads to a delicate, almost ghostly resolution.
