The Heart of Youth Synopsis

Josephine Darchat lives with her Whipple grandparents in the country and loves Russ Prendergast, son of wealthy Calvin Prendergast, despite the dispute between the families over a spring between their properties. The feud intensifies when children from the camp situated on the Prendergast land mess up the Whipples' kitchen making molasses candy. After the children substitute an old cook's false hair for flowers left by Russ with a love note to Josephine, she stops speaking to him. When the younger Prendergast children hide the Whipple cat, Josephine destroys the dam which brings spring water to the Prendergast property. In the middle of a large fight involving thugs hired by the Prendergasts and neighbors supporting the Whipples, Josephine tries to save a young Prendergast child from drowning and, in turn, is saved by Russ. The families reconcile, the lovers reunite, and the cat, hidden in a well, returns to the rejoicing.
