Two engineers building a dam in the mountains, John Stafford (Robert Young) and George Fleetwood (Ralph Bellamy), are attracted to local hillbilly "spitfire" Trigger Hicks (Katharine Hepburn) who is the local faith healer. Things come to a head when the locals think that she is a witch.
The film was popular and (after cinema circuits deducted their exhibition percentage of box office ticket sales) made a profit of $113,000.[1]
