Edith Peton Joyce Rierson Evelyn Peton Lois Jacobsen Dixie Jones, a stranger from the deep south Helen Jean Paulson Joyce Narley Tessy Vashki, who loves her Iowa home town, is about to marry Ozzy Fredrick, Chicago glamour lad. The Vashki household buzzes with wedding preparations, a pair of vociferous twins, a tuba playing kid brother, and of all things, bees. The bees belong to Johnny Jones, ex-marine, who has moved next door while Tessy was away at college. A sector of his apiary swarms the Vashki chimney, and as Tessy is about to kiss her fiance, one of the bees stings her right on the lip. Indignant, Tessy telephones the ex-marine to give him a piece of her mind. Johnny arrives to render first aid, and recalling a remedy used on him as a boy by his mother, he surprises Tessy by treating her bee sting with a kiss. Tessy and Johnny are hitting it off famously when Ozzy returns to find the ex-marine administering a second treat- ment by way of osculation. Discovering that Tessy, whom he has fallen for, is engaged, Johnny assists with the wedding rehearsal. He goes in quest of a minister, but returns without benefit of clergy. He merely asks at the door of each minister if there was anybody who would like to subscribe to Esquire magazine and they told him no. ' 63
