Touring America was Natalie's idea. But she had not planned on being

accompanied on a cross-country bus by her playboy fiance, Pierre. Nor had they

anticipated being stranded in Seldom, Nebraska, population 395.

But that is exactly what happens to this French couple, and they quickly find

themselves being taken in by the obliging citizens of Seldom: Natalie by Mrs.

Christiansen, a retired high school teacher who runs a rooming house for

women, and Pierre by Owen, a gas station owner and ambitious winemaker in an

unlikely part of the world.

And here, also, the separated couple becomes enchanted by the locals. Natalie

is soon being wooed by Dick Tupper, a handsome and honest rancher. Pierre

falls quickly for Iona, a beautiful, no-nonsense waitress at the local diner.

In this charming entertainment, mistaken identities, botched schemes, and

hilarious misunderstandings abound as Parisian sophistication collides with

the affability and simple pleasures of the Great Plains.
