Maria is a free-spirited young Austrian woman studying to become a nun at Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg in 1938. Her love of music and the mountains, her youthful enthusiasm and imagination, and her lack of discipline cause some concern among the nuns. The Mother Abbess, believing Maria would be happier outside the abbey, sends her to the villa of retired naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp to be governess to his seven children—Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, and Gretl. The Captain has been raising his children alone using strict military discipline following the death of his first wife. At first, the children treat Maria as they did their former governesses—playing tricks on her as a way of gaining their father's attention. Maria responds with kindness and patience, and soon the children come to trust and respect her.

Un jour McMorehouse, un vieil aventurier écossais, arrive avec une petite cage contenant des cochons d'Inde. Flannery demande à l'écossais de payer la taxe de 48 cents pour les cochons mais ce dernier refuse car ce sont des animaux de compagnie et ne souhaite payer que les 44 cents prévus pour ce type d'animaux. Flannery est si inflexible que McMorehouse décide d'abandonner ses cochons d'Inde. Le chef de gare, après avoir nommé les deux animaux Pat et Mike, informe sa direction par télégraphe. Mais avant que la réponse n'arrive, il s'avère que ce ne sont pas deux mâles mais un couple qui donne naissance à une portée de sept petits. L'expert contacté par la direction informe que les cochons d'Inde peuvent être mis dans la catégorie animaux de compagnie. Mais Flannery se retrouve déjà au milieu de centaines d'animaux. McMorehouse bien que introuvable ne peut pas payer la taxe qui se chiffre en milliers de dollars. Après que la direction a accepté de prendre en charge le transport des animaux, Flannery pense pouvoir se reposer mais un cirque arrive avec deux éléphants. Il tombe dans les pommes et à son réveil un couple de cochons d'Inde le regarde imperturbable.
