| The Music Man |
|
Hill moves from town to town selling musical instruments, uniforms and the promise of lessons for a boy's band, and then leaves town with the collected money before anyone has discovered that he can't read music.
When Hill arrives in River City, things don't go exactly as planned. He and the local librarian develop feelings for each other, and a fellow salesman who knows the truth is hot on his tail!
