THE STORY: The central figure is a symphony conductor, a perfectionist, but also one possessed of a temper that causes him to bang instruments on the heads of his musicians, break batons by the scores and tear the shirts off his fiddlers as a form of constructive criticism. His ex-wife, who was never legally married to the conductor, who now wants a divorce, finds herself on the French horns of a dilemma. The conductor’s agent, a colorful fellow addicted to larceny, perjury and skullduggery in the interest of a client and his commission. Knowing that the lady in the conductor’s life is the only female who can tame him long enough for the sponsors of an orchestra to sign him, he finally brings the two together and out of the resulting cacophony finally creates harmony."
