Dave’s mother is not happy when he comes home one day to announce he had married Lesceline instead of traveling east to become an architect. The newlywed couple leaves home with high hopes, but have a hard time getting on their feet. When Dave’s dad asks them to look after his chicken farm, they welcome the opportunity. Dave does most of the care for the chickens, as they make Lesceline nervous, but when Dave comes now with pneumonia, it’s up to Lesceline to care for both him and the chickens. She works hard, and when Dave’s parents show up at the farm, they are proud of her work ethic and maturity.
