It's boxing day 1943. After many years of protests the biggest dancing lounge of the North is eventually inaugurated in Stockholm.

On the dais there is Lulle Ellboj enumerating his new and youthful big band. There's no doubt he will succeed!

Within four years Lulle Ellbojs orchestra becomes the foremost Swedish band playing the latest music coming from USA. It shows that the band's sound is beloved by the audience - the dancefloor is always crowded.

Right from the beginning Ellboj successfully competes with other orchestra leaders to become the best band in Sweden. His strongest competitor is Thore Ehrling.
