Tustine berates his young
daughter for picking a few stalks of wheat. |
 |
Lem goes to the city to sell his
family's wheat. When he meets Kate in a restaurant, a romance
blossoms. |
 |
Lem tries to introduce his
new bride to his father. The father ignores Kate, only interested
in finding out from Lem how much he got for the wheat. |
 |
Kate: "I'm going to make a man of
Lem Tustine in spite of you! And if you think he'll let me go
away without him . . . think again!"
Tustine: "I'm master here! My son does what I say . . .
and so will you!"

 |
After being struck by Lem's
father, Kate is hurt and angry because Lem would not confront
his father about the incident. When the harvesters come, the
foreman, Mac, takes a particular interest in Kate. |
 |
Lem has been sleeping in
the barn loft with the other harvesters. He finally goes into
Kate's room one evening. "Kate . . . we can't go on like
this." |
 |
Still determined to shun
Lem, she runs from the room in her slip not realizing that Mac
is standing in the next room. |
 |
Lem's father walks in and
hears Mac try to get Kate to go away with him. "I always
knew you wasn't a good woman. I'm going to find Lem now . . .
and tell him what kind of wife he's got." Kate begs him
to no avail. |
 |
Lem and Mac fight on a runaway
wagon. |
 |
"Remember when we first
came along this road . . . how happy we were?" |
