Father Abel Charles Winninger tends to his pig Blue Boy and bets his neighbor Dave Miller Percy Kilbride five dollars that the pig will win at the fair, and that the Frake family will all have a good time at the fair with no bad experiences.Daughter Margy Jeanne Crain is in a melancholy mood as she packs for the fair, singing It Might As Well Be Spring. Margy muses about how the Fair will at least give her a break from seeing and doing the same old things every day on the farm. Later, Harry, Margys fiance, tells her he cant go to the fair with her because he has to take care of his cows. He describes the new modern farm he wants to have after they are married, with a farmhouse made out of prefabricated plastic with linoleum floors throughout. Margy, who thinks old houses are charming, is not enthusiastic about Harrys ideas or about Harry himself. ........
