  The hard lives of those living on the rugged Hebrides are chronicled in this drama that is partially comprised of footage from a documentary. The story focuses on a farmer's wife who becomes miserable when her husband loses his livelihood and is forced to become a herring fisherman on those barren isles. The woman loathes life near the sea and after her husband is forcibly inducted into the Navy she moves in with her aunt. In the new village she meets the handsome captain of a herring boat and they fall in love. Unfortunately a cholera outbreak erupts. She must also cope with her son's desire to become a fisherman. Storms also wreak havoc in her life but fortunately she weathers it all and at last is able to be with the man she truly loves.
