When musician John Cardwell (Adolphe Menjou) finds himself struggling financially, his daughter Patricia (Deanna Durbin) steps in, forms an orchestra from John's unemployed musician friends, and convinces Leopold Stokowski (himself) to conduct. The concert is so well-performed that it leads to a radio contract, and all ends well. The film won an Academy Award for Best Score and was nominated for four others, including Best Picture. For her work in this film, Deanna Durbin won a special Academy Award for her "spirit and personification of youth."
