Julia McAllister is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
McAllister of London, England. When the McAllister's successful
shoe business is forced to close in 1894, the patriarch of the
family makes a bold move by deciding to immigrate to the United
States. There, they find that living conditions that they must now
cope with are a leap down the socio-economic scale. Soon, the
McAllister's triumphant spirit overcomes adversity and they become
semi-wealthy and well-liked citizens. When a move to a new
apartment is in order, the McAllister's make haste and find
themselves in a posh new apartment. However, with this new
apartment comes rambunctious neighbors making all kinds of din into
the wee hours of the night--or so they think. Soon, they discover
that the din is originating from one of their own--the eldest
McAllister, Samantha. She reveals that she is falling in love with
the other half of the rowdiness, the suave sophisticate,
Christopher Joplin. This first meeting quickly turns into a
romantic engagement. Soon, all of the McAllister's head to
California to meet the Joplin family--and to prepare for the grand
wedding.
