 Encomium to Larry Hart (1895-1943), seen through the fictive eyes of his song-writing partner, Richard Rodgers (1902-1979): from their first meeting, through lean years and their breakthrough, to their successes on Broadway, London, and Hollywood. We see the fruits of Hart and Rodgers  collaboration - elaborately staged numbers from their plays, characters  visits to night clubs, and impromptu performances at parties. We also see Larry s scattered approach to life, his failed love with Peggy McNeil, his unhappiness, and Richard s successful wooing of Dorothy Feiner.
