Jody, the family’s only child, longs for companionship, as all his siblings have died prematurely. He finds this friendship in a young deer — a yearling — who Jody adopts as his pet. Not everyone is happy about the new pet, however, as it is eating the crops and threatens the farm. Forced to give up the deer, Jody releases it into the wild, but it returns to damage the farm.
