Trigger Hicks (Katharine Hepburn) grew up alone in the hills after her mother's death. She's a local healer and ostracized by some. John Stafford (Robert Young) and George Fleetwood (Ralph Bellamy) are visiting engineers building a nearby dam. One night, she shows up with a baby.
This is a pre-Code drama based on a play. Hepburn is in her later 20's and I don't buy her as a teenager. It's not necessary anyways. The character would work much better as an older woman. That would play up her spinster witch qualities. On top of that, I'm not completely buying her performance. She's supposed to be an uneducated hillbilly. It's a marginally pass.
