John and Mary sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society based upon the teachings of Edward Gallafent. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.

"27.8. King Vidorin jatko-osassa The Crowdille ei vaikuttaisi olevan mitään, minkä vuoksi The Crowd pitäisi olla nähtynä. Sen sijaan elokuvassa on megaluokan hönöperse, joka innostuu asioista kuin pikkulapsi. Myös hänen yleissivistyksensä on pikkulapsen tasolla, ja esimerkiksi porkkanat tuntuvat olevan hänelle jotain käsittämätöntä rajatiedettä. Jostain syystä mies onnistuu perustamaan vähän niin kuin sosialistisen farmikommuunin, jossa kaikilla on kivaa. Tarina itsessään "
