Florenz Ziegfeld, l'impresario passato alla storia come il padre del musical, ovvero del teatro leggero in musica, all'inizio lavora avventurosamente in piccoli locali di provincia. La sua ascesa è scandita da due matrimoni e il secondo sarà per sempre. Impegnato in allestimenti sempre più spettacolari, sontuosi e sorprendenti, al culmine del successo subisce un crac finanziario; muore in miseria nel 1932.
