In a small Manitoba railway town, dreamy Mrs. Burton Francis has beautiful theories about uplifting the poor, while Pearl Watson, twelve and imaginative, actually raises her many brothers down to Wee Danny. The old doctor, the cross Mrs. McGuire and a temperance Band of Hope fill out a comic, kindly picture of prairie life.
