In this follow-up to The Jolson Story, we pick up the singer's career just as he has returned to the stage after a premature retirement.

This time Jolson trades in the stage for life in the fast lane: women, horses, travel.

With the death of his mother and the beginning of World War II, Jolson comes back to earth—and returns to the stage.

Once again teamed with manager Steve Martin, Jolson travels the world entertaining troops everywhere from Alaska to Africa.

When he finally collapses from exhaustion it takes young, pretty nurse Ellen Clark to show him there is more to life than "just rushing around".
