Inevitably, knowing that there is nothing left for him but to return home, Harry feels the urgent need to reconnect with his alienated wife he abandoned when he was still a beardless youth and embrace once more his little daughter who believes her father is dead. Hesitantly, the estranged and embittered wife will take Collings back as a hired hand on her farm, however, the past, in the person of the villainous McVey threatens to catch up with him. Is Harry's fate inescapable?
