When drunken millionaire Duke Randall lands in Lawndale OH, he's impressed by its smalltown goodness, especially that of florist Janie Clark. So impressed, that he changes his will and leaves her his fortune, nightclub and racetrack. After Randall is reported dead in a car accident, his business partner Bart Manners and golddigging widow are shocked to learn about the inheritance. Bart is sure it's a scam and sets out to learn Janie's angle. Meanwhile, the citizens of Lawndale turn on her, convinced she's no longer their kind of people. So Janie heads to New York and accept the bequeath, and teach everyone a few lessons in basic human kindness.
Joe Besser costars as Roly Q. Entwhistle, Janie's kindhearted friend and protector, determined to make good on his show biz ambitions. A highlight is Joe calling a squaredance in an NYC nightclub, with a tune titled Oh, You Crazy You.
