Trouble at Midnight (1937)

アメリカ西部で農場を営むパールは、借金を理由に土地を奪われそうになります。その状況をなんとかしようと農場のおばさん牛3頭が懸賞金のかかっている牛泥棒を捕まえて、その懸賞金で借金を返せば牧場を取られないと考え始めました。しかし、その懸賞金がかかっているアラメダ・スリムは、なんと歌声によってい牛たちを惑わせ牛を連れ去る技を持っていて、おばさん牛3頭たちも惑わされてしまうから、さあ大変です！

A widowed farmer begins a new life on her own terms by fighting against corruption and injustice in her community.

Paul and Phyllis van Amburgh, believing that a small, family farm is the best place to raise their children, take their life savings and buy a defunct dairy. With three children and a fourth on the way and armed only with their principles and determination, they fight to defy the odds as they become full time farmers. THE FIRST SEASON, through an intimate, cinema verite style, bears witness to the Van Amburgh's struggle as they fight against relentless toil, financial ruin and the harsh reality of diary farming to achieve their version of the American dream.
