Loosely based on a ’50’s movie of the same name, it tells the story of two young orphan boys who travel by themselves from the Old country to join their father’s family in Canada. There they encounter their stern disciplinarian grandfather who has alienated himself from some of his neighbors. There is particularly no love lost between the grandfather and his Dutch neighbors, who he generalizes as being responsible for his son’s death in the Boor War.
