Adam, the eldest of seven brothers, goes to town to get a wife. He convinces Milly to marry him that same day. When he brings her back to his backwoods home, she discovers that he has six brothers--all living in his cabin. Milly sets out to reform the uncouth lads, who become anxious to find their own wives. Then, after reading about the Roman capture of the Sabine women, Adam develops an inspired solution to his brothers' loneliness.—Melissa Portell
