Icebound
Prudential Family Playhouse - Season 1

DESCRIPTION

In Veazie, Maine where the people are cold, hard, and austere, live the Jordan family. The mother is a stern, sad old woman. Ben, the younger son, has more warmth in his nature than the rest of his family. His only real friend is a warm-hearted girl, Jane Crosby, a ward of his mother. When his mother is expected to die Ben returns. Ben's greedy, anxious relatives gather in the parlor of the Jordan home to await the death of the old lady and the reading of her will by the family lawyer. When the old woman leaves all her property to Jane, the family is more concerned at that than over her death. To win Ben back after he becomes enamoured of another girl Jane gives up the inheritance and Ben realizes that the two of them belong together.
