|---|
Susan Applegate is tired of New York and quits her job to go home to Iowa. When she discovers she only has half fare for the train, she disguises herself as a little girl to get the child's discount. On the train, she hides in Major Philip Kirby's compartment, and he gets incredibly mixed up from then on: why is he attracted to this "girl" when she is, supposedly, only twelve years old?
