Lassie is back in Scotland for this entry in the series. She starts out as a stray pup, but is adopted by a shepherd who teaches her to be a sheep dog. When he dies and is buried in the local church yard, Lassie shows up every day at sunset to lie on his grave. Based on the famous, and true, story "Greyfriars Bobby", it gets a little too sentimental at times and has a protracted court scene at the end. Edmund Gwenn is the local bar owner, not the same character he played in the previous Lassie entry Hills of Home.
