The young Johann Strauss, Jr., lives under the shadow of his father who is the waltz king of Vienna. When the young Strauss shows promise as a musician, dad tries to sabotage his career before it starts, preferring he pursue the more conventional profession of law. Well, it backfires and Strauss Jr. becomes even more famous. However, his fame comes with a price, everywhere he goes he is mobbed by young adoring women, poor guy. He eventually tires of writing waltzes and tries his hand at more serious compositions, finding more fame in operettas. This Disney biopic is bolstered by the music and location shooting in Europe.
