The story is a social commentary like many of Anderson's books. A young boy grows up in rural Iowa.

It was a board platform, and the boy walked cautiously, lifting his bare feet and putting them down with extreme deliberateness on the hot, dry, cracked planks. Under one arm he carried a bundle of newspapers. A long black cigar was in his hand."
