Little House on the Prairie

A college-educated farmer named Joe moves to Walnut Grove with his pregnant wife. He tells the Walnut Grove-area farmers of a new hybrid of corn that would produce good crops, to which the farmers are very enthused. They decide to buy some of this new seed. While on the way back to Walnut Grove with the seed, Joe gets into an accident when his horses become spooked. The wagon tips over and Joe is trapped underneath. Concerns over Joe's tardiness gives way to suspicions that he took off with the money. But Charles keeps a cooler head and decides to retrace Joe's route. Eventually, crows flying over the area where the accident occured (some of the seed had spilled out, drawing the black birds) help Charles locate the accident and rescue a now-delirious Joe. While recovering at home, Joe learns of the nasty attitudes from the area farmers (they were beginning to verbally abuse his wife), and decides he's going to move. That is, until Charles shows him that the now-repentant farmers are planting the corn. Joe is touched and decides his family will stay.
