'It was the story of an Italian migrant family, the Mancellos, whose dress-manufacturing business is tottering. The Mancellos import Joe, a dress-designer relative from Italy, to save the business. He makes big changes, which Mamma Mancello bitterly resents. Daughter Lucia is less conservative but not keen on Joe's ideas. She wants to sell the business to help her ghastly Australian boy-friend and spur on their marriage.'
