Based on the book Freckles by Gene Stratton Poter, a young man overcomes personal hardships and must choose between the demands of a friend and his desire to do the right thing.

"Truth’s not an idea," wise old Duncan tells Nick, "It’s something ya feel!" Young Nick wants to know the truth about their boss, Tom McLean, but the "city boy" is also on a cross-country journey in search of the truth about the father he never knew. Only trouble is, Nick’s luck ran out, until McLean gave him a job at his logging operation. When the young man is assigned to guard McLean’s mysterious and beautiful Limberlost Forest from ruthless outlaws who are stealing its trees, he learns the real meaning of courage.

But his integrity is put to the test when he discovers that one of the criminals is a man who once saved his life. The young man is also torn between his loyalty to McLean and his affection for Angelica, who opposes logging in the Limberlost. Still, if Nick can act with loyalty and courage during a crisis, he may find something even more valuable than his father - the truth.
