Welfare worker Jean Peters places troubled young Dean Stockwell in a new home in a Maine fishing village. Her personal life is crumbling after a break up with local fisherman Dana Andrews. He becomes a father figure to Stockwell and comes to his rescue one stormy night on rough seas, in a well-done sequence that garnered the Oscar node for special effects. Later, he comes to his defense when he is sent away to reform school. Location shooting in Maine helps this enjoyable if routine little drama.
