After years of roaming over the country with Harris (Warren Oates), he finally decides to gj back to his home and farm; the wife he left and the daughter who thought he was dead. His wife, Hannah JVerna Bloom), was reluctant to take him back with open arms after he had deserted her for so long. For some time he works as a hired hand and sleeps in the barn until time erased some of the hurt and by mutual agree­ ment he becomes Hannah's husband again. - Life moves along smoothly-- he takes in the beauty and warmth of his home and country - side-until he hears that his former companion is in serious trouble. With reluctance he leaves his new-found Paradise and goes to help his friend. Color, scenery and musical background is blended into simple beauty in this film rated "GP". PAY LESS - GET MORE!
