Dr. Paul Sheffield is a young, widowed doctor who works out of his own home in North Carolina. Dr. Paul's housekeeper, Henrietta, meets three orphaned children on a bus and brings them to Dr. Paul because one of them is sick. When Dr. Paul learns the story of these children's horrific past, he takes them in and makes them his wards. Dr. Paul enrolls each child in school once their health improves and offers them all the unconditional love their mother could not give them after the death of their father.
