The father, Godfrey, is still nearly paralyzed with grief after his wifes death and puts his faith in radio evangelist Father Divine. His daughterssassy Ermina and studious Ernestine, escape their gloomy basement flat by going to the movies. Their mothers sister Lily arrives, and the girls are taken with her daring, unconventional ways. After disappearing for a few days, their father returns with a new wifea German immigrant who hopes to win the familys love.
