Plots(1)
Sam Tucker (Zachary Scott) has spent his life slaving away in a factory, but has managed to scrape enough money together to make a go of sharecropping on a miniscule patch of land, living in a rundown farmhouse with his wife (Betty Field), grandmother (Beulah Bondi), and two children (Jean Vanderwilt and Jay Gilpin). Though he tries to go it alone, circumstance forces Sam to seek the help of hostile neighboring farmer Henry Devers (J. Carrol Naish). The two become bitter rivals, but are later able to make amends via their common interest in fishing. Hardship strikes again when a flood destroys Tucker's cotton crop, and he contemplates throwing in the towel on farming for good. Considering a return to factory work, Sam changes his mind at the urging of his family who vows to stand behind him, believing that success is on the horizon. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
