His mother, who lived with him in the home he grew up in has recently passed away.
Now John spends all the time he isn't at work portraying his alter ego, Maggie.
But no one who knows him actually knows about Maggie.
While Maggie is hanging laundry to dry one day, a train plows through the yard.
To her rescue are many neighbors, with many questions about who she is.
As time passes, people begin questioning John about Maggie, assuming she must be his wife.
John does not refute the assumption and days go on as normal , only now people actually get to know Maggie.
When the town mayor wants to use John/Maggie's yard, John refuses while Maggie agrees, due to the mayor's kind wife.
