A New Yorker and his sophisticated girl friend drive down around Lancaster, Pa., to sell a piece of property. Here they meet the Amish, whose speech and habits haven't changed for centuries
The city slickers are amused by the Amish rituals of community life: their customs of betrothal and marriage, barn raising, and the "shunning" one who breaks the rules of the community. Of course, the dress and habits of the city folk are equally hilarious to the Amish
There is a touching love affair within the Amish community and some stunning scenes of their religious and household life
