She returns to the studio of her friends and plays for them. They are fascinated, so much so that they forget the supper cooking on the stove. After the meal Helga returns to the office. The manager is looking for a man to play a lead in one of his productions. He is pestered by all sorts of types: song and dance men, an old opera singer, an old tragedian who still thinks he can play a juvenile, when the manager is almost mad with the pests. There comes into his office a beautiful girl with her violin; he would drive her out as he has the others, but she will not go; instead she plays to him. He is enchanted by her music; they fade from the office into a wonderful glade; he is sleeping at the base of a grand oak tree. Suddenly the tree opens and out dances a nymph; she inhales the fresh air, dusts off the flowers and plays with the rabbits, awakens the sleeping knights, then runs away. With Sir Knight she is persuaded across field and dale, up deep slopes, and romps with him in hot chase. Then back to the office. She finishes her selection; he falls to his knees enchanted. He offers her his all, his heart and his hand, but she is enraged to think her music could affect a man so. She breaks her violin over his head and leaves.
