The story

Set in Depression-era Yorkshire, England, Mr and Mrs Carraclough are hit by hard times and forced to sell their collie, Lassie, to the rich Duke of Rudling, who has always admired her.

Young Joe Carraclough grows despondent at the loss of his companion.

However, Lassie will have nothing to do with the Duke, and finds ways to escape her kennels and return to Joe.
