In A Distant Cry From Spring, a mysterious stranger appears at the door of a farmhouse on a stormy night and asks for shelter. The young widow who owns the farm puts him up in the barn. At dawn, he helps to deliver a calf and, just as mysteriously, disappears down the road. In the spring, he returns to stay as a farmhand, gains the respect of the widow and the devotion of her young son, and begins to end their feelings of loneliness.
When an intruder, disguised as a rich merchant, shows up and presses his attentions on the widow, the farmhand saves her. But this man's origins and destination remain a mystery.
