A best seller becomes a best picture !
Overview
World War II veteran Bob MacDonald surprises his new wife, Betty, by quitting his city job and moving them to a dilapidated farm in the country.

The couple's bliss is shaken by a visit from a beautiful farm owner, who seems to want more from Bob than just managing her property.
