Based on the poems of John O'Brien (the nom de plume of Catholic priest Father Patrick Joseph Hartigan), the narrative is a sentimental retelling of the early life of a priest, presumably Hartigan (who in the film is seen reading from a book of poems). The story elements include the priest's early life in the country during the 1870s, his first school (a shaky old slab hut), a tender childhood romance, and his latter years as part of the 'modern' world of the mid-1920s.
