Life in Santa Rita, Texas, 1957: Calm…slow-moving…placid…or it was until that radical librarian and her controversial books came to town. Then the County Judge falls in love with her. And the editor of the local newspaper starts trying to convince the judge that the girl's a Communist sympathizer. What with the Commissioners in an uproar, two irrepressible teens adding their own brand of confusion, and a menacing midnight caller threatening the girl he loves, Judge Sam Lindley has enough interference in his courtship to sink it. He doesn't need his old friend the editor poking around to find evidence that Sam's lovely librarian has Party ties. Trouble is, the newsman just might be right!
