Annie has a mental disability and she longs to be able to sing like the people in the church choir. The community's over-protectiveness smothers her, and keeps her from developing to her full potential. Being slow to react, Annie is a suspect in the investigation of the murder of Zacary Cargoll, a brutal womanizer. Key members of the community know her accusers are wrong, and they hide her in France while the mess is clarified. During this time she learns how to use her voice and she returns in triumph, just as the real murderer is put on trail. Annie has a delightful surprise for the trial judge and the village community.
