Miss Polly

In a stifling town where rigid morality rules suffocate the youth, a young couple's desire for love and marriage is met with resistance from the town's self-righteous authorities. Determined to break free from the shackles of oppression, a kind-hearted woman named Miss Polly takes it up...

In the small town, Mrs. Minerva Snodgrass leads the Purity League, enforcing strict rules to keep boys and girls apart. Her neighbor, Miss Pandora Polly, tries to spark romance between Minerva's daughter Barbara and the town's nerd, Eddie. Meanwhile, Polly and her staff, Slim and Patsy, sample spirits in the cellar, searching for a legendary drink that boosts romantic feelings. They find it, and Zasu Pitts becomes flirtatious, revealing the past misdeeds of the Purity League members, causing marriages to shake and leading to the kids being allowed to watch movies alone.
