What is more important to a good marriage--a happily full stomach or a comfortable relationship?
Karl Fischer wants a wife to take care of him and start a family; most importantly, she must be a good cook. The girl he wanted married his best friend, but Maude Banks is just as good a cook and comely besides. If only she weren't so strong-minded! Could they make a marriage work? She certainly makes his stomach happy!
Fleeing the turmoil and strife in Alsace-Lorraine that crippled their daughter and cost them the life of their youngest son, the Schmitt family has come to America to start anew. They have been welcomed by the local community, most especially by Miss Banks and Mr. Fischer.
Karl and Maude, however, bicker like schoolchildren. Can they refocus their acid repartee to become a loving couple? Perhaps the challenge of helping the Schmitts will redirect their purpose.
Genre: Inspirational
