Alexandra Oliver gives a strong performance as Sarah Pine, who has had a child out of wedlock, a child whose father is a British soldier, Bob Wheedle (Nathan Kershaw). She wants marriage and is convinced that Bob will do the right thing. However, her child is referred to as a “bastard” and Bob has to stand trial to prove whether or not he was a deserter at the time and fathered the child.
Added to the drama is the fact that British deserter Bob has led a band of rebels known as “The Sons of Liberty”, who fight in the night against royal officials who try to enforce unpopular laws. This takes place in Courage, New Hampshire, in a pre-revolutionary New England township.
The Bible is used as the measuring stick of justice, which is nice, and Sarah looks at Bob as a biblical magistrate, a protector. Will Bob do the right thing and marry Sarah and claim the child? Watch this dramatic story and find out. We are happy to award the film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal.
