action
While in Yorkshire at the end of the 1930s, shortly before the outbreak of World War II , the Duke of Rudling preferred to hunt foxes, the miners struggle with poverty. When the pit closes, the parents of little Joe Carraclough are forced to sell the family dog, the Collie Lassie, to the Duke, who gives it to his granddaughter Cilla. But the unhappy Lassie runs away and picks Joe up from school as usual. When the angry assistant to the Duke immediately picks up Lassie and tries to tear her away, Joe and his father personally bring the dog back. While Joe's mother tries unsuccessfully to comfort him, his father implores him to come to terms with what has happened.
Meanwhile, the Duke brings Lassie to Scotland to join his other dogs. When Hynes, the Duke's assistant, tries to raise Lassie using the belt, Cillie helps her escape; Hynes is fired for his rudeness. After Lassie is nearly run over by a truck, she narrowly escapes the police and runs back home to Joe. While Joe's father is called up for the army, Cillie goes to boarding school and has a hard time with the drill there . She also runs away, but is soon brought back to boarding school.
Lassie is caught by animal trappers on the streets of Glasgow and taken to the shelter. A young passer-by and a young man who is also present want to free Lassie from the shelter, but Lassie escapes into the nearby courthouse and jumps onto the roof of a truck that is moving away. On her way back to Yorkshire, she joins a wandering showman and his dog. On the way, Lassie chases two robbers away, but the showman's dog is killed in their attack. A little later, the two go their separate ways.
On Christmas Eve, Lassie arrives at home, completely exhausted. This time Hynes gets police support to take Lassie back. Impressed by the dog's perseverance, the Duke claims that this exhausted dog cannot be Lassie at all. Joe's father gets a job as a dog sitter from the Duke. Joe and Cillie become friends and spend time with Lassie and their offspring.
