Dana Andrews befriends fugitive Walter Brennan while looking for his dog in the Okefenokee swamp. Brennan is wanted for a murder he didn't commit, and Andrews vows to prove his innocence. Back home, Andrews fights with his girlfriend but falls in love with the wild daughter of Brennan. The local hicks shun him because he hunts in the forbidden swamp. Some moody scenes early on, and Brennan is well cast as the swamp man, but it bogs down in the middle while in hick town. And speaking of bogs, this features one of the more disturbing deaths by sinking in quicksand on film.
