Larry Earl dreams of making a name for himself in show business but struggles to find success as a songwriter and performer. Everything changes when he discovers a group of talented youngsters and transforms them into one of vaudeville's most popular children's acts. Inspired by the career of legendary producer Gus Edwards, this uplifting musical follows Larry's journey through the changing world of entertainment as he adapts from the vaudeville stage to the exciting new medium of radio.
