In 1917, Ellen Frost of Tateville, Tex. vows to live by the rule "What would Jesus do?" Within minutes, she is persuaded to work for Prohibition.
Ellen finds out that "What would Jesus do?" is sometime a confusing rule. How is a wife and mother supposed to act? Jesus was never either a wife or a mother. Ellen does what she thinks is right, but her pastor criticizes her.
But Ellen's biggest challenge to living by WWJD is a man named Danny Payne. Jesus said to forgive "seventy times seven" times; but Danny Payne wronged Ellen, and she wishes him dead. Forgiveness? No chance.
By the way, Prohibition doesn't turn out the way Ellen expected.
