Synopsis

Bill Harris is a widower who owns the Harris Music Publishing Company in Los Angeles, California.[1][2][3] A longtime music publisher and a lover of old-fashioned, melodious music, he hates the rock and roll music that has become popular during the latter half of the 1950s and rejects most of the popular songs submitted to him.[2][3] As a result, his company is nearly bankrupt, and stress over its financial problems is affecting his health.[1][2][3] Bill′s daughter, Pat Baker, wants to keep an eye on him as well as save the family business by convincing Bill that he is wrong about rock and roll and should publish it, so she maneuvers him into taking her on as a partner in the company.[2][3] She then tries to sign rock and roll musicians with the company and get Bill to publish their music.[3]

Bill shares an apartment with Pat, her husband Steve Baker, who is a lawyer, and their daughters Susan and Jennie.[1][2][3] Steve is more progressive than Bill and constantly irritates him, and Susan has to mediate the frequent disputes between them.[2] At the publishing company, Sophie is the secretary and Stubby Wilson is the firm′s song promoter.[1][2][3] Stubby performs most of the songs submitted to the firm and is prone to reminiscing about the "good old days" in the music publishing business.[2]

Late in 1959, the Bakers hire a Chinese woman, Han Cho-Yee. as their housekeeper, and a Chinese songwriter, Jimmy Chang, falls in love with her.[3] Jimmy faces the challenge of dealing with Han′s father, Mr. Cho-Yee, a strict man who has set up an arranged marriage to someone else for Han.[3]
