Premise
After Connie Grimm eloped with Dallas Tremaine[2] (her childhood sweetheart) her tyrannical father, Arnold,[1] opposed the marriage so much that he disowned Connie,[3] while Dal's mother ("a schemer") "disliked Connie and plotted against her".[1] Connie found second-hand furniture and an old house in which to set up their home while artist Dal never finished the pictures that he began painting.[2] She also provided financial support by operating a business in partnership with French lingerie dealer Madame Babette.[1] At one point Dal took all of the money from Connie's purse and used it on a fling in Chicago. She forgave him when he returned, but he continued to brood over their poverty.[2]
Gladys Grimm was Arnold's wife. Jimmy Kent was a designer and Bill Hartley was Arnold Grimm's business partner. Judy was Connie's outspoken and sometimes funny maid. Mr. Tweedy was a lovable, good man. Sonia Kirkoff was a loyal friend to Connie.[1]
As the series progressed, Connie became pregnant. Before Little Dal was born, Dal died while saving a child from being hit by a fire engine. After her husband's death, Connie's attention turned to helping her father and his struggling business.[1]
