The Prodigal

Jeffry Farraday has spent years wandering the country as a hobo, but has now returned to his wealthy Southern family's plantation. His welcome is none too enthusiastic, especially by his sister Catherine. Jeffry's brother Rodman has an unhappy marriage with Antonia, who is carrying on a loveless affair with a man named Carter Jerome. When Antonia decides to leave her husband and go away with Jerome, Jeffry attempts to talk her out of it, but without betraying the fact that he is falling in love with her himself. To avoid disrupting the family, Jeffry decides to return to the road with his hobo pals. But circumstances interfere with his plans.
