In the town of Salzburg in Austria, Maria, a woman studying for the Roman Catholic sisterhood in a convent, is sent out to be a governess to the seven children of Captain George Ritter von Trapp, a widower and a decorated World War I captain in the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Von Trapp is also an Austrian patriot at a time when it is safer to be friendly to the ascendant Nazi regime. The children, initially hostile and mischievous, soon come to like Maria. She finds herself falling in love with the stern Captain, who is engaged to be married to Baroness Elsa Schrader. He too finds himself warming to the young governess. After winning the children's hearts by teaching the family the jou of song, and after some soul searching by Maria and misunderstanding fostered by the Baroness, Maria leaves the convent and marries the Captain. Maria and the Captain arrange for the family to escape. after a family concert, through the convent and over the mountains to Switzerland so that the Captain does not have to serve in the Kriegsmarine of the Third Reich.
