- Summary:
- Two banker's children lose their nanny due to her frustration with them. A change in the wind blows in a magical nanny who matches the qualifications of the children, but not the very proper father. As she helps the children magically explore the world around them, the father grows increasingly disapproving of her methods, and he must eventually deal with his own distance from his children.
