This short film festures Loui Leybele Waldmann playing three different parts: an old world Eastern European then a German auditioning to be the synagogue cantor. Displeased with what they've heard and unable to agree, the synagogue committee is visited by Leibele's agent who offers them a third alternative: a modern an American Chazan, with "pep and jazz," who can do Kol Nidre with a "two-step" and Unetaneh Tokef with a "black bottom."
