In Connecticut, three sons run away from the home of tenant farmer, Hogen. The reason for this is a hard father’s temper. Hogen’s daughter, Josie, who was strong and could work for two, was left to live with him.

The younger brother, before he leaves, advises his sister to round someone up. Jim Tyrone, from whom Hogan rents a farm, is a good fit for this purpose. The man often drank and the brother advised his sister to rope him when he got drunk again.

The father also wanted Josie to marry Tyrone. He was afraid he would sell the farm to a neighbor, Harder. Tyrone comes to the Hogens and tells them that Harder is coming soon. The Hogens’ pigs have started going into his pond. The neighbor thinks the tenants are breaking down the fence on purpose to get the pigs drunk nearby.

The Hogens accuse Harder of breaking the fence himself. When the neighbor leaves, Jim promises Josie that he will come see her tonight. The girl’s father informs her that Jim has agreed to Harder’s offer. Josie decides to get Jim into bed to marry him or pay the bride price.
