The Magic Bow

Paganini is a talented violinist. When a composer offers a Stradivarius to anyone who can play one of his complicated pieces, Paganini is eager to win it. This he does successfully, but given his penniless state he must try to earn a living with it which proves to be less straightforward. His life becomes even more complicated when he falls in love with a beautiful Frenchwoman who is betrothed to another.
