Vanessa Vane, who lived in Virtorian times, was struck dumb after seeing her parents killed in a street accident. A Dr Forbes discovered he could restore her voice by hypnotism and planned to grow rich from her singing talent. Vanessa made many attempts to escape, but, each time she failed.

This sounds as if it’s strongly influenced by George du Maurier’s ‘Trilby’ – in which an artist’s model who ordinarily has a dreadful voice is hypnotised into becoming a singing star in 19C Paris.
