"What we do in moments of importance," Will tells young Dusty, "determines what we do in moments of great importance." And the advice he gives is the advice he lives. To Will, an honest heart is more valuable than any amount of money. Then again, an honest heart and some money would be awfully nice right now. That's because Will wants to marry his sweetheart, Annie Farnsworthy, and he has promised her father he would save $10,000 to prove he's "worthy to marry a Farnsworthy." And Will never breaks a promise. But to a young schoolteacher like Will, saving $10,000 is about like trying to climb Mt. Everest - wearing Rollerblades. While a scheming rival adds to Will's money shortage, there is no shortage of hilarious high jinks as Will faces each new challenge with the belief that total honesty is always the best policy
