This animated trek across the musical landscape of the 20th century begins with young immigrant Zalmie arriving in New York City. He's addicted to show business, but an accident ruins his voice. He marries a stripper and their son, Benny, becomes a jazz pianist. Although Benny is killed in World War II, his son, Tony, goes on to great success as a songwriter during the '60s, as does Tony's son, Pete (also Thompson), in the '80s.
