A poor country girl moves to the city, where she expects to find a rich husband. She marries a miner who is indeed rich, but almost as uneducated as she is. She wants to become a respected society lady whereas he is more at ease among folks like him. Loosely based on real persons.
I seem to differ from many people in that I found this mostly a failure. The story is interesting as an x-ray of the American ethos, but I found the musical parts occasionally annoying and the main character excessively romanticized towards the end of the movie. The production values are good, and the film, apart from those annoying parts, is mildly agreeable.
