Frank Brody is at the Weeping Angel, Idaho, train depot waiting for his new piano to arrive from the manufacturer. He needs it to increase his business at the Moon Rock Saloon; his competition has nightly music. Also standing at the depot is the proper and straight-laced Miss Amelia Marshall. She is desperate for her new piano -- she needs it to teach piano -- and avoid poverty. But an error was made by the manufacturer and only one piano arrives. There ensues an unhappy discussion and the town's citizens must make the deciding vote.
Frank and Amelia find themselves thrown together, sharing the piano. Amelia finds Frank attractive (like all the other women of the town) but Frank sees Miss Marshall as a stuffy piece of ice. Frank's best friend (Pap) takes a shine to Amelia and wants to marry her.
This town is peopled with many kinds of citizens: eccentrics, hypocrites, deeply religious folks, just like any small town in America in the late 1890's. The people are so interesting and entertaining that the pages seem to fly. This story is absolutely charming.
