Older brother Bill is the bread winner of the Wilson family and he fancies himself King of the home delighting in ordering his shy and sensitive younger brother Ben about.

However as Adeline begins to have feelings for young Ben, Bill becomes jealous and ultimately schemes against his brother, using his naïve dreams of songs and music to lay a cruel trap for him.
