Art, love and war, three of the most valuable contributions to humanity, are characterized as fantastic clowns. The polar opposites, Love and War yearn to make their case that they are in fact the singular most invaluable contributor to humanity while Art is desperate to find his new masterpiece - his ultimate energy source. Art creates a game using Hans, a creative artistic soldier, and Maria, an enchanting beauty/cabaret dancer - as pawns for Love and War to play to prove their case in this short musical set in the war torn Poland 1941.
