Presents
The Music Man
Plot:
It's the early twentieth century American Midwest. A con man, currently going by
the assumed name Harold Hill, has used several different schemes to bilk the
unsuspecting, he now traveling from town to town pretending to be a professor of
music - Gary (Indiana) Conservatory of Music, class of '05 - being able to solve
all the respective towns' youth problems by forming a boys' marching band. He
takes money from the townsfolk to buy instruments, music, instructional
materials and uniforms for their sons. However, he, in reality, has no degree,
knows nothing about music, and after all the materials arrive and are
distributed, hightails it out to move to the next town with all the money never
to be seen again. Many of the traveling salesmen in the territory have been
negatively impacted by him, as the townsfolk then become suspicious of any
stranger trying to sell them something. For Harold's scheme to work, he has to
gain the trust of the local music teacher, he usually doing so by wooing her,
regardless of her appearance. And if the town doesn't believe it has a youth
problem needing to be fixed, he will manufacture one for them. That is the case
when he arrives in River City, Iowa, population 2,212, where he will have some
unexpected help from Marcellus Washburn, a friend and former grifter colleague
who he didn't know now lives in River City, has gone straight, but still wants
to make sure Harold survives his stay in town. The music teacher he has to
impress in River City is spinster Marian Paroo, who is also the town librarian.
Unlike all the other River Citizens who he is able to impress with his fast
talking sales pitches, he is unable to impress suspicious Marian, whose hard as
nails exterior is partly due to her somewhat removed standing in the town, as
all the gossipy housewives believe she is a smut peddler - encouraging the
teenagers to read authors such as Chaucer and Balzac - and mistakenly believe
she got her position as librarian through less than scrupulous means. What
Harold does not know is that one way to Marian is through her young adolescent
brother, Winthrop Paroo, a sullen boy who has withdrawn from life since the
death of their father two years ago and when he started to lisp. Complications
for Harold ensue when he starts to fall for Marian, something that has never
happened with another music teacher before. Further complications may ensue for
him if any of those traveling salesmen who have been following his same route
through the territory catches up with and exposes him.
