...other singers display considerable versatility. Jo Sullivan, as Rosabella the sometime bride, is rather shrill in attempting to combine vivacity with shame. Morley Meredith, the well-meaning, and over-masculine hired hand, is strapping, restless, and insensitive, as he should be. The strength of the cast comes mostly from a huge roster of chorus and incidental players, all in good voice and enthusiasm...
Tilling another man's land, Cam finds his own roots. But he loses his restless heart to the boss's pretty young sister-in-law Millie. She is plagued by the memory of a previous affair, Cam by the bitter knowledge that he sits too far down the farmer's table to reach for Millie's hand.
