Merle goes home on vacation from college and discovers the whole town has turned against her due to the failure of her father’s bank. Merle’s boyfriend Johnny is her only friend, but she fears associating with him will hurt his reputation. Johnny calls a town meeting and says the bank failed because Merle’s father made too many loans to veterans – now the veterans will pay back the money and the bank will be solvent once more.
