Two half brothers - one black, one white - have very different dreams in life. Wesley wants to be a politician while Cyril - engaged to Glenys Pike for six years - believes he will be the next Frank Sinatra.
Until their dreams come true, however, they must continue to run a dilapidated second hand car lot in Liverpool. To top up their incomes, both also work at the local Blue Cockatoo club - and Wesley writes letters to eminent persons about the Confederation of Black Industrialists, of which he is chair.
