A blatant assault upon the lachrymal glands, with a few snatches of inimitable comedy by young Mr. Coogan. He is, as you may have guessed, a downtrodden little boy-violinist in search of his long-lost daddy, and oh what a pathetic time he does have!

The engineer and the architect will rebuild broken material Europe, the teacher, the philosopher, the sociologist and the journalist must rebuild the minds of the nations, downtrodden in the struggle with a material might.
