John Severn, a merchant in a thriving country village, lends money to two young men Peter White and Walter Sturgis who fail to repay. Severn discovers their deception and faces ruin, offering land and cash to settle debts while Peter and Walter wrestle with loyalty, money, and escape plans in a tense moral drama.
Peter White, a landless youth in a village five miles from the city, pioneers a hillside farm after teaming with Mr Stevens. He clears rocks, plants melons, potatoes, and corn, builds soil fertility with manure, and grows crops selling in the city. Walter Sturgis, chasing city fashion, fails to match Peter’s profits as Peter expands, earns hundreds and contemplates future land division as a railroad project looms nearby.
