Clay Spencer (Henry Fonda) is a hard-working man who loves his wife and large family. He is respected by his neighbors and always ready to give them a helping hand. Although not a churchgoer, he even helps a newly arrived local minister regain his flock after he and Clay get into a bit of trouble. If he has one dream in life it's to build his wife Olivia (Maureen O'Hara) a beautiful house on a piece of land he inherited on Spencer's mountain. When his eldest son, Clayboy (James MacArthur), graduates at the top of his high school class and has the opportunity to go to college, Clay has only one option left to him.
