Homer Wells (Foster) is an orphan at St. Clouds in Maine who becomes the favorite of the orphanage's director, Dr. Wilbur Larch (Duvall). Over time, Homer learns all aspects of medicine from the doctor, becoming his skilled assistant despite not having a license. When a young couple, Wally and Candy (Woodman and Swank), arrive seeking an abortion, Dr. Larch performs the procedure safely but illegally. Candy becomes ill afterward, leading Homer to administer an experimental anesthetic. After Wally leaves for war, Homer goes with Candy to work at Wally's family apple farm. There, he learns about life outside the orphanage and forms a deep bond with Candy.
