An American plans a stay in Lucca Italy and rents a villa with a haunted rock. He hears a singing voice from the rock and converses with Lenore, a hidden lover, through acoustic echoes. Over days they fall in love though unseen, until a Count Villani plots to separate them. Tests reveal a natural acoustic effect that lets them hear each other, and the lovers wed.
