Newlyweds Chun, a Chinese merchant, and Emmy, a Hawaiian princess, are enjoying nuptial bliss. Because Chun is not of Hawaiian descent, however, the marriage is soured by an omen that stipulates none of their daughters, of which they are about to have thirteen, will marry until the buds on their thirteen calabash trees blossom. 26 years later, no tree has blossomed and the daughters remain unwed. By tradition, the eldest daughter must marry first, but she seems more interested in missionary work and the outlook is grim for the others. Occurrences have a way of positively falling into place, though, when it comes to love; and omen or not, the daughters' luck is soon to change.
