The troubled '30s leading to the outbreak of the 2nd World War form the background for a further episode of The Performers' family saga. Harry Lackland meets Leah Landis, but because of their lack of children and the fact that she is his senior, the marriage begins to go awry. Being Jewish, Leah fears for the safety of members of her family in Germany, and with Peter Lackland, goes there - despite the dangers - to try to find them.
