Monsieur Dubois has three sons: Jean, Jacques and Jules. Jules stays with him at the farm, while the other two buy lands in different regions. While Jean profits, Jacques, who worked as hard as his brother, meets failure.

Directed by Gordon Sparling in 1933, this film revisits Canadien culture 10 years prior in 1923.

The rural French Canadian way of life is observed on l'Ile-aux-Coudres, an island in the St. Lawrence River. The farmer grows food on his land. His family, from son to grandfather, gives him a helping hand. On Sunday, he rests and attends church with the other villagers. Many picturesque scenes of the coutryside and of the harvest are shown. The monument on the site of Jacques Cartier's landing and worship on his second trip up the St. Lawrence is also shown.
