Wilma and Blair are high school sweethearts; she repeatedly advises him about his future, urging him to study business rather than writing, which is his passion.

To impress his new boss, Wilma suggests Blair manage the local library as a project. Librarian Frances encourages Blair’s writing, and warns Wilma that she’ll lose him if she ignores his interests. Wilma changes her ways and she and Blair will be happy.
