Summary

In a comedic film about assimilation and Jewish values, sophisticated New Yorker Morris Brown travels with his daughter Mollie back to his Galician village to attend his niece's wedding. Mollie's hijinks include boxing and teaching the young villagers to shimmy. Mollie meets her match, however, in an engaging young yeshiva scholar who forsakes tradition and joins the secular world to win her heart.
