		Barrymore's stepdaughter Beulah Bondi and her lazy husband Grant Mitchell are hostile towards Hopkins, a state of affairs not helped when Miriam strikes up a friendship with the farmer husband (Franchot Tone) of a popular local girl (Irene Hervey).
		Wisely, Hopkins also ends her relationship with Tone, who leaves with his wife to accept a teaching post.
