Miss Wilmas has enough on her plate already, thank you very much. The resident organist and piano teacher in the North Carolina hamlet of Swan's Knob, she's preparing music for Lily Mae Strong's wedding extravaganza, organizing the town's annual piano recital, fending off the pesterings of perennial bachelor Roy Swan. When her prodigal daughter Sarah returns with her young granddaughter in tow, Miss Wilma enjoys the unexpected visit until Sarah's absentee husband Harper shows up on her porch a few shorts hours after a murder shakes up the small community. Warm, witty and eccentric!
