It has been a life long dream of Joe Hunter's to live on a farm and as he is about to retire his wife Effie thinks that now is the time they should fulfill his dream and retire to a farm. 

Their daughter is settled with two kids in Chicago and their son Peter has a job as a salesman and is married with a baby.  But just as it seems their children are no longer dependent upon them Peter and his wife and child, needing help, come back to live with them. 

Joe has never been able to refuse helping out his family even at the cost of his own dreams.
