The orphan Forrest Kane is framed for stealing grain by his Uncle. His parents' land is forcibly seized. Wielding an ancestral skill, he digs water and grows grains in barren land. His Uncle repeatedly sabotages him. Forrest Kane foils these schemes. He leads the village in development, starting farming and breeding, and opening a Starch Mill. Working alongside Evelyn Sullivan, he transforms the impoverished village into a Rural Revitalization Demonstration Site.
