Two older sisters receive letters from their younger sister. Reading between the lines, they realize that she is no longer planning to marry her fiance that summer. They hurry home to find out what's going on to discover that the younger sister has stopped seeing her boyfriend because he wants to work at a gas station instead of being an engineer. One of the older sisters slaps her and shows her a newspaper clipping with the town's family of the year. She tells her sister that it could have been her family, but she had been too proud to settle for a man who wanted to run a hardware store.
