Young Lentil wants to learn to sing, but no matter how hard he tries he
can't sing on key. He can't even pucker his lips to whistle! So Lentil
learns to play the harmonica instead and beautifully carries his tune
through the winding streets of Alto, Ohio. Lentil masters his craft just
as the beloved Colonel Carter returns to town and the Alto residents
decide to plan a special celebration. But Old Sneep, the grouchiest man
in town, doesn't want anyone celebrating Colonel Carter's homecoming.
When Old Sneep stops the welcoming parade in its tracks, Lentil's music
turns out to be just what Alto needs.
