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.
