Breaking the Ice

Directed by Edward F. Cline

With Bobby Breen, Dolores Costello, Charles Ruggles, Irene Dare and Dorothy Peterson

The story begins while Tommy Martin and his mother, Martha Martin say goodbye to Henry and Reuben Johnson. After having stopped by the Mennonite farm, where Tommy and Martha stay with the William and Annie Decker, the Johnsons are headed back to their hometown of Goshen. The balance of the film is concerned with both trying to get the necessary train fare and with Tommy clearing his name over a misunderstanding.
