The series was also called Paramount's Silver Jubilee, and chronicled the life of the head of Paramount Pictures, Adolph Zukor, a producer and director, who founded the company and went on to build one of the highest grossing motion picture companies in the world.

Adolph, a Hungarian immigrant, was introduced to the world of show business by his cousin in 1903, which led to him establishing the Famous Players Film Company in 1912 which was merged in 1916 to become Paramount Pictures.

The show is hosted by Jack Benny, and there is only one episode in existence.
