  Daisy-Belle, a talented young singer from the grim backstreets of Tyneside, has the potential to go far. And would-be impresario, Jack Fidler, instantly sees her promise. There's only one thing holding her back in Jack's eyes: her illegitimate daughter, Dolly. Ruthlessly ambitious, Jack arranges for the child to be 'stolen' by his sister, Maud, a maid in a wealthy Northumberland household.

But as her fame grows, she is brought into direct competition with one of the northern music halls' established stars, Daisy-Belle, who, unaware of her young rival's true identity, determines to destroy her...
