Portrays the establishment of a modern Maternity-and-Child Welfare Clinic in Acari, a small town in northeastern Brazil. The mayor's wife with the help of the town doctor establishes a maternity clinic in a small house that soon becomes inadequate when increasing numbers of mothers arrive to obtain powdered milk through the United Nations Children's Fund. The mayor's wife seeks help from the Department of Child Welfare to build a larger clinic and obtains equipment from UNICEF. A young aid who is sent away for training in midwifery returns to find the clinic completed and a training program begun for other girls.
