The Story in brief:
In Salzburg, Austria, Maria, a woman studying to become a nun, is sent from her convent to be the governess to seven children of a widower naval commander, Captain Georg Ritter von Trapp. The children, initially hostile and mischievous, eventually come to love her when she introduces them to the joys of singing. Maria finds herself falling in love with the captain, who is engaged to a wealthy baroness. The Baroness however, recognizes his growing feelings for Maria, and lets him go so they can be together.

The Nazis take power in Austria as part of the Anschluss, and attempt to force Captain von Trapp back in service. The captain, unwilling to serve the Reich, delays Zeller - the gauleiter (party leader for the district) - by insisting he's part of the Von Trapp Family Singers and must remain with them during a performance at the Salzburg music festival, in a guarded theater. After a curtain call, the whole family flees and hikes over the mountains to Switzerland.
