Storyline
In Chicago during the 1930s Depression, sheet-music salesman Arthur Parker is trying to sell his products, but it's not easy to convince unwilling music-store owners to buy them. Although he's already married to the somewhat drab Joan, when he meets schoolteacher Eileen in a music store, he falls in love with her.—Mattias Thuresson
