Times are hard in 1934 but Alice Ettinger has a steady job teaching school. But just before the summer break, the superintendent delivers the bad news her rural school is closing. Every-thing seems bleak until school board member and local undertaker Jacob Taggart offers her a job in town. He even offers a place to board during the school year.

When the school year begins, however, his mother-in-law who keeps house is called away to tend a sick relative and they're left without a chaperone.
