A fragmented tale centers on Mark Lamson, an ambitious Mayaville youth born in a dilapidated farm house. His restless drive clashes with neglectful, fantasy-prone parents and a town social circle that offers few opportunities. He endures poverty, mockery, and failed employment attempts while clinging to a hope of self-improvement.
In Mayaville the judge confronts long held prejudice as Mark Lamson's hard work proves his worth. He creates a thriving farm with four men, quality stock, and new house, earning support from the judge and community alike. Preparation for a new home and public improvements follow.
