Description by Internet Video Archive

An irreverent look at the rise and fall of Grammy-nominated polka music star Jan Lewan, whose defection from Poland to the West in the 1970’s led to fame, fortune and an international Polka Empire.

But when Lewan's empire collapsed under a cloud of scandal, the polka world was stunned to learn of the greatest polka-related financial crime in history.
