This biopic chronicles the life of Eddy Duchin (Tyrone Power), a popular pianist whose life was tragically cut short by leukemia at the apex of his career. The tale begins during the late '20s when Duchin moved from Beantown to the Big Apple to find a job in a pharmacy. Instead he encounters socialite Marjorie Oelrichs (Kim Novak) who gets him hired as a pianist at the Central Park Casino where he becomes a big hit and decides to abandon his career to become a full-time musician. His success inspires him to ask for Marjorie's hand. Later she dies while giving birth to their son. Afterward Duchin cannot bear the sight of little Peter, whom he blames for the death and so leaves the infant with relatives while he embarks upon a world tour. During WW II, Duchin becomes a naval officer and it is at that time, that he realizes he can no longer ignore his innocent son. He returns but his angry son rejects him until his nanny Chiquita convinces the boy that his father is sincere. They reunite and eventually Duchin marries Chiquita. Just before Eddy dies, he and his son Peter play one final tear-jerking duet on the piano.
