After standing in as best man for his longtime friend Carl Petersen, Randy Dupree loses his job, becomes a barfly and attaches himself to the newlywed couple almost permanently -- as their houseguest. But the longer Dupree camps out on their couch, the closer he gets to Carl's bride, Molly, leaving the frustrated groom wondering when his pal will be moving out.

A tale of war and romance mixed in with history. The story follows two lifelong friends and a beautiful nurse who are caught up in the horror of an infamous Sunday morning in 1941.

Devout wild-west farmer Clark Davis works his tail off to provide for his wife, sons Aaron and Arnie, and daughter Missie. When his beloved, equally-devoted older son Aaron is startled, Clark, who was chopping firewood, accidentally hits his leg with an ax. He would have bled to death if wandering youngster Nate hadn't found them, brought them home, and taken care of the farm, way above the kids' ability. Grateful Clark offers Nate an indefinite farmhand job, all the more interesting as he and Missie take to each other, but she's also courted by a classy railroad surveyor. Once recovered, Clark realizes that Nate is really Willie, the son of local grump Zeke, who left years ago after his kid brother Mattie's tragic death. Decision time arrives for both families.
