    Our story picks up in 1935, as Louis completes an extended working vacation in Europe. He returns to America only to find that his personal business is in a shambles, particularly as his management is concerned.

    Louis attempts to pick up the pieces, and finds himself with a new manager, on a new record label. Musically, he hits the cruise control button, which annoys critics but results in a catalog of consistently brilliant music.
