A series of musical sketches loosely hosted by mad jazzman Paul Whiteman, the self-proclaimed "King of Jazz". Gargantuan musical numbers of the Busby Berkeley variety are contrasted by occasional comic interludes and performances by leading entertainers of the day. There is even room for some Walter Lantz cartoons. There is no plot per se, just hard working artists doing there best to entertain, which they do without fail. Shot entirely in early Technicolor.
