The year was 1942 and World War II was taking its toll in Europe. Felicity West had decided to bring her three step-daughters to America to stay with her good friend Samantha Ridley and her 3 girls. The eight of them would live under the same roof until it was safe to go back to Europe. Fortunately, Felicity and Samantha had similar views on discipline and had a lot of experience with it in their own lives. They both knew that things may not be easy with six young women in the house. Rules needed to be followed or there would naturally be consequences. They also found a Swiss tutor who would be able to help the girls keep up with their studies during their time.

This is Scene 1: It is the debut of the film which is primarily under narration. We are introduced to the two maternal figures and learn through flashbacks of their experiences with disciplining young women and their own girls. They know they will have a great time living under one roof but they will also have their work cut out when it comes to the correction of six free-spirited young ladies.
