Mladi kmet Ben Quick išče delo. Pot ga popelje v mestece ob reki Mississippi, kjer izve, da Will Varner oddaja kmetijo. Ko prispe na Varnerjev dom, ga tam hladno sprejme Willova hčerka Clara. Punca noče imeti z Benom nobenega opravka, zato pokliče brata Jodyja. Jody je v očetovi odsotnosti poglavar hiše, drugače pa se očeta neznansko boji in se neprestano trudi, da bi si pridobil njegovo naklonjenost.
