O filme é uma série de 19 cenas em formato de comédias musicais, apresentadas durante um programa de rádio ao vivo, encabeçado por Tommy Handley. Em uma das cenas, um ator deseja interpretar Shakespeare, mas é continuamente interrompido. Já em outra parte, outro comediante cria um aparelho no qual pensa que é possível assistir ao programa de rádio pela TV. Apesar de o filme ser em preto e branco, quatro cenas são coloridas (em tons de amarelo ou marrom). Elstree Calling foi dirigido pelos quatro maiores diretores ingleses da época, que incubiu de inserir o cinema britânico no gênero musical.

Topsy is the main character in this movie. When the black girl who "jes' growed" is auctioned as a slave but nobody will bid on her, Little Eva purchases Topsy for a nickel. That's the one part of this movie that I found plausible: slaveholders often refused to buy children, since their upkeep in food usually exceeded any labour they performed. There's a gooey romantic subplot between Mariette (the niece of Simon Legree) and George Shelby, son of a prominent slaveholder.
