John Chandler is a proud Southerner, and the Civil War may be over but he is still finding hostility in the North. He is searching for a doctor who can help his mute son David speak again, as the youngster has been unable to talk since the death of his mother in a fire at the family home. After being taunted for his Southern roots, John gets into a fight that lands him a 30-day jail term. Luckily a kindly local lady called Linnett Moore offers to pay a fine to keep John out of jail since she can see that young David needs his father, and a man about her farm will come in handy. From here John gets involved with Linnett's struggle to keep her land from ruthless local landowner Harry Burleigh, a man and his sons will do what it takes to get their way. As bonds and affections are formed, some real tough decisions must be made. Can the proud rebel and those he cares for triumph over adversity?
