This musical drama marks the screen debut of Moishe Oysher, in a film critic J. Hoberman calls an 'anti-Jazz Singer.' Oysher stars as a wayward youth who makes his way from his Polish shtetl to New York's Lower East Side where he is 'discovered' and becomes a well-known singer. Ultimately, he returns home to the Old Country and reunites with his parents and his childhood sweetheart.
