Set in the summer of 1912, traveling salesman "Professor" Harold Hill arrives in River City, Iowa, with the intention of swindling the famously stubborn natives of Iowa. Masquerading as a traveling band instructor, Hill plans to con the citizens of River City into paying him to create a boys' marching band, including instruments, uniforms, and music instruction. Once the instruments and uniforms have arrived and he has collected the money he plans to hop the next train out of River City, leaving the residents without their money or band.

But his plans go awry when Hill sets out to seduce, Marian, the town's librarian and piano instructor, whom he believes will attempt to discredit him.
