Despite being warned that the "curve" is cursed and inhabited by a ghost, Josh becomes enchanted by the curve and decides to build his home there. Josh endures hunger, a life-threatening blizzard, dangerous moonshiners, and a stint in the Navy during World War II, before finally settling down and getting married.
