Fiorello La Guardia, Mayor of New York from 1932 until 1945, was one of this century's most colourful and controversial politicians. In this film we see the indefatigable 'Little Flower' routing out gangsters and racketeers; supervising city fire-fighters; conducting the New York Philharmonic-and even reading the comic strips on the radio during a newspaper strike.
