Moonlight in Vermont (1943)

Vermont farm girl Gwen Harding enrolls in the Devereau School of Music in New York, and makes a singing hit at a school party. She wins the attention of student Richard "Slick" Ellis--and the jealousy of Slick's girlfriend Brenda Allenby. The school is in bad financial shape and its director, Lionel Devereau, is in debt. Gwen's singing teacher from Vermont, Lucy Meadows, arrives at the school and Devereau, thinking she is a job applicant, hires her as his secretary. Gwen must leave school when her Uncle Rufus is faced with ruin on the farm because of a shortage of help. Gwen returns and her school friends volunteer to go help bring in the harvest. Gwen plans to enter her pet cow Myrtle in the stock show at the Farm Jubilee, but Brenda steals and hides the cow.
