Olga, a writer, at a loss to bring her book to a fitting climax, goes for celestial inspiration into church, where she kneels and listens to the wonderful music of Gustave, the organist. She meets him as he leaves the church, and they are instinctively drawn to each other. As the days pass they become greatly attached, and Gustave finds Olga becoming a great inspiration to him. Her old lover returns, however, and the magnetic force of Vanome compels Olga to forsake Gustave. This so affects the young musician that he not only loses his masterful touch of the organ, but becomes broken down in health. Realizing that he is dying, his physician grants his request to be taken to the organ in the church, and there while vainly trying to recall the great strain his spirit leaves him.
