The Winfield family moves into a new house in a small town in Indiana. Tomboy Marjorie Winfield begins a romance with William Sherman who lives across the street. Marjorie has to learn how to dance and act like a proper young lady. Unfortunately William Sherman has unconventional ideas for the time. His ideas include not believing in marriage or money, which causes friction with Marjorie's father, who is the local bank vice president

Cute, adorable love development story, I wish she showed more of her baseball side because who doesn’t love a women that can play but overall it was good but the greatest.

Astounding how a love interest in an older film would be the justifiably dumped boyfriend in the first act of any modern film. Cute though! Kid is the real star.
