Dans la Russie impériale de la fin des années 1890, le rabbin d'un village est assassiné par un groupe de cosaques : sa femme s'exile aux États-Unis avec son jeune fils, Zalmie. Peu après leur arrivée à New York, Zalmie est recruté par Louie, artiste dans un cabaret burlesque. Zalmie devenant adolescent, il passe davantage de temps avec Louie en coulisses lors des spectacles burlesques. Lorsque la mère de Zalmie meurt dans l'incendie d'un atelier de misère, il commence à travailler à plein temps avec Louie dans un petit théâtre. Et bien qu'il aspire à devenir chanteur, Zalmie entre dans la puberté, et la mue qu'opère sa voix devient un obstacle important. La Première Guerre mondiale éclate alors : Zalmie parcourt le globe, jouant pour les troupes la moitié arrière d'un cheval de pantomime , et est blessé à la gorge.
