Susan, the owner of the Hillsdale Morning Star, and her reporter George Harvey are struggling as the paper's circulation falls. Susan spends her time with the children of the local children's home, and when George proposes an Arabian Nights promotion, he hopes the whole town will take part and play mother and father to the orphans. The campaign draws George closer to the children, especially Rodney and Jocelyn, while a gunpowder experiment and a misprinted story add complications. The episode is part of the Bright Star comedy series starring Irene Dunn as Susan and Fred MacMurray as George, and the guide is drawn from a partial transcript of the broadcast.

With Susan, George Harvey, Sammy, Rodney, Jocelyn, Laura, Fire Chief Hagadorn.
