Serious intent and skilled actors can't save this low-budget melodrama.
Virile drifter Hank (Eric Braden), recently discharged from service in Vietnam for refusing orders to shoot water buffalo, is persuaded to sign on as a helper on the bleak farm of Carl Steiner (Gregory Morton). Steiner is a violinist who lost his family in WWII, and then started over in the USA
with a much-younger second wife, Inez (Tyne Daly), only to accidentally run over and kill their son. Now impotent, Carl asks Hank to perform stud service with Inez to present the couple with another child. Hank angrily refuses--but then nature takes its course, and the hired man and Inez become
love...
