Con-man Harold Hill arrives in River City where he declares that the only way to save the youth from the lure of the poolroom is to organize a boy's band. He charms the mayor's wife and sets his sights on winning over Marian Paroo, the local music teacher. She becomes Hill's staunchest ally when her young brother Winthrop, sullen and withdrawn since the death of his father, exuberantly comes out of his shell at the prospect of joining Hill's band; and Marian's budding romance with the charming but unreliable Hill ultimately brings her out of her own shell as well.
