This short film features Louis "Leibele" Waldman 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 and American Chazan, with "pep and jazz," who can do Kol Nidre with a "two-step" and Unetaneh Tokef with a "black bottom."

Waldman was said to be the only cantor who was under contract to make Yiddish films, that is, until Moishe Oysher, who then starred in the film, "The Cantor's Son."
