In 1928 New York, spirits are high and jazz, dancing and gangsters
rule supreme. Harlem's Cotton Club is in the center of it all, where
rich upper-eastsiders mix with dressed-up mobsters. On stage is
gifted coronet player Dixie Dwyer, who dreams of the big time, and
tap sensation Sandman Williams who can't touch his girl, the lovely
singer Lila Rose Oliver, because of strict club rules. As tension
rises, so do tempers, and the nightclub becomes a pressure-cooker of
jilted loves and mob jobs.
