In a city high school, a jazz combo needs a trumpet player. Randy is the natural choice since he is the most talented, but the music teacher favours Bruce, a black student. What should come first? The band? The opportunity it affords to Bruce? The teacher's pleasure? These are questions for the audience to decide. Please note that this is an archival film that occasionally makes use of outdated and offensive terms. Such offensive terminology is no longer used at the NFB. This film is therefore a time capsule from a bygone era, presented in its original version, in the hope that it will help raise awareness, educate and generate discussion.
