Ruby is a classical dancer who goes to a Manhattan Conservatory of the Arts. She meets an edgy, moody young violinist named Johnnie who performs in the New York subway. He got distracted while helping her, and his violin was taken. She tries to help him, but she learns he is illegally living in the USA. She learns that there's competition wherein a dancer performs with a string musician, and the winner gets a scholarship, which can get him a student visa.
