Samuel Sweetland (Jameson Thomas) is a condescending farmer who finds himself all alone. His wife has died, and his daughter has just gotten married. To find a new spouse, Sweetland and his housekeeper, Minta (Lillian Hall-Davis), make a list of the women who live nearby, assuming that any one of them would kill to be his bride. But farmer Sweetland is in for a big surprise--and his ego is in for a major bruising--until the lovelorn Sweetland can acknowledge that he is secretly admired by his housekeeper. Gordon Harker gives an amusing performance as the old farmhand in this faithful adaptation of a play by Eden Phillpotts.
