The true story of a 1920's con man who made a fortune selling his impotence cure: surgically implanted goat testicles. He then started his own radio station and became a major early advocate for country music, starting the careers of such stars as The Carter Family and Gene Autry.
When the newly formed American Medical Association took away his license, he switched gears and went into politics, running a highly successful campaign for governor of Kansas. An examination of American character and one of the first politicians who tried to Make America Great.
A Brechtian parable about American Greatness, told with country music.
