1950s Alabama, the proprietor of the Honeydripper lounge is deep
in debt and losing customers. Desperate, he decides to sack his
long-time blues singer and hire the famour 'Guitar Sam', for a one
night only gig to save the club. The only problem is that he has
no money to pay him, doesn't know where to find him or if he will turn
up.
