- The story of Johann Strauss the elder and younger.
- Schani, Johan Strauss Jr., is forced by his father to forget music and to work in a bakery. Here he falls in love with Resi. The girl gets very jealous when a rich and beautiful contessa asks Schani to write a waltz for her. Schani writes and plays it, but he is always loyal to his girlfriend.—Claudio Sandrini <pulp99@geocities.com>
- Vienna, mid-1800s. Johann Strauss Jr lives in the shadow of his illustrious father, the composer Johann Strauss Sr. A music teacher, he starts to write his own compositions. However, his father is not impressed and openly belittles his son's works.—grantss
- The relationship between Johann Strauss Sr. (hereafter referred to as Sr), Johann Strauss (hereafter referred to as Jr), and the latter's writing of what is arguably his most famous composition, The Blue Danube Waltz, is dramatized. Jr is openly dismissed musically by Sr, only playing second violin in his orchestra while totally denouncing his ability as a composer. Jr's girlfriend Raisa, the daughter of a baker, loves his music and wants him to dedicate all his compositions, so far unpublished, to her. Overhearing Jr play, Countess Helga wants him to set one of her poems to music. He does so with Raisa's help and encouragement, she initially unaware the music for the Countess. This act sets off a triangle of sorts at least in Raisa's mind, especially as the Countess goes to extreme lengths to get the composition heard, which Sr would never allow.—Huggo
