In the midwestern town of Royalton, widow Mother O'Neill (Kate McComb) raised her children, Danny (Jimmy Tansey) and Peggy (Betty Caine, Violet Dunn, Claire Niesen, Betty Winkler). Living upstairs in the O'Neill's two-family house was Mother O'Neill's friend, the meddling Trudy Bailey (Jane West). After their father's death, teenager Janice Collins (Janice Gilbert) and her brother Eddie Collins (Jimmy Donnelly) moved into the O'Neill house.[1]
Organist William Meeder supplied the music. The announcers were Ed Herlihy and Howard Petrie.
Janice Gilbert remained with the series when it was telecast on the DuMont Television Network from September 6, 1949 until January 10, 1950.
