Maud Novec has been kicked out of her own home and winds up on the doorstep of Elmer Martin, a farmer who seeks companionship and help running his home. The two find friendship as Elmer teaches Maud the beauty of life on a farm. Eventually they realize their feelings run much deeper than employer/employee. The budding romance is threatened, however, by a mystery surrounding Maud.
