Set during Thanksgiving in the small town of Milburn Indiana, Marjorie Winfield's boyfriend returns from WWI; they intend to get married, but Bill wants a bigger nest egg first. Meanwhile, Marjorie's brother suspects their father is having an affair with a French actress. Pleasant and nostalgic, this America never existed. Sequel to On Moonlight Bay (1951), and somewhat superior to the original.
