Four girls live with their mother in a somewhat rundown, New England country mansion in the days of the Civil War. The girls bide their time waiting for the return of their father by pursuing various pursuits, including the boy next door. One of the contracts scarlet fever but survives. Another falls in love with the boy next door's tutor, leading to marriage. Another spurns the boy so heads off to New York to pursue her writing career. She finds success, and an unlikely husband herself. Episodic film has not aged well. Episodic and melodramatic, with an annoying, pretentious performance by Hepburn.
