The film follows the lives of a farmer, his wife and their four-year-old son on a farm in Pennsylvania . The farm does not yet have access to electricity, and light after dark is only provided by gas lamps. In an animated form, the family's life cycle is traced over all four seasons, including the farmer's pregnancy. This is done in a subtle way, so that the American Maternity Center Association agreed to take over the distribution of the film.
