The short takes place in a world called Music Land, which is populated by anthropomorphic musical instruments, and centers on two kingdoms, the Land of Symphony and the Isle of Jazz, which is separated by the Sea of Discord. The Princess of the Land of Symphony (who is a violin) and the Prince of the Isle of Jazz (an alto saxophone) are in love, but the Queen of the Land of Symphony (a cello) disapproves when she finds out and imprisons the Prince. The Prince sends a note for help to his father, the King of the Isle of Jazz (a baritone saxophone), who declares war on the Land of Symphony in response. Will the Prince and the Princess get their happy ending, and will harmony between the Land of Symphony and the Isle of Jazz ever be achieved?

Will the Prince and the Princess get their happy ending, and will harmony between the Land of Symphony and the Isle of Jazz ever be achieved?

The short is notable for being an early experiment with sound in animation; it gets a lot of mileage out of its music, using snippets from various popular classical, jazz and miscellaneous tunes. It also uses various musical tones in order to express the characters' speech.
