Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra is making recordings at a studio in a downtown congested area. He goes into the street during a break and comes on a group of small boys mobbing a Jewish child. He asks what the fight is about and is finally told the don't like the lads religion. By using illustration of the blood bank and an American air operation following Pearl Harbour, Sinatra helps the boys see that the people of this country are all American and that their race makes no difference. He finally sings them "The House I Live In". When they troop off down the street after the song, the Jewish lad is with them, an accepted member of the gang.
