Leaning on one another as they scraped by, widow Bea Pullman (Claudette Colbert) and domestic Delilah Johnson (Louise Beavers) managed to parlay a family pancake recipe into a thriving restaurant concern. The success spared neither heartache from their maturing daughters, as Bea's (Rochelle Hudson) made a play for her new man (Warren William), and Delilah's (Fredi Washington) steadfastly denied her heritage.
