Trama
Alla fine degli anni Venti, il Cotton Club è il più famoso locale di New York. Vi si esibiscono cantanti e ballerini negri ma solo ai bianchi è riservato l'accesso. In occasione di un attentato a un boss (Schultz, l'olandese), presente nel locale, un giovane bianco suonatore di cornetta, Dixie, gli salva la vita. Schultz, per sdebitarsi, lo fa assumere al Cotton Club gestito da un altro "boss" (Owney Madden) e lo incarica di fare l'accompagnatore della sua amante Vera Cicero. Dixie e Vera piano piano si innamorano, ma l'ombra dell'olandese incombe.
