I have my suspicions that this film was made to cash in on the success of "Courage Of Lassie".Percy Marmont owes a debt to a neighbouring farmer which he is unable to repay.The farmer wants his dog Fleet and he will then cancel the debt.the son takes the dog to the neighbour as a goodwill gesture.However Fleet runs back home.The neighbour has Marmont falsely accused of sheep stealing and eventually everything is sorted out mainly by the son acting as a peacemaker.However it is Fleet who is the real star of the show.He is a clever sheepdog and we have lots of shots of him running over the fells and herding sheep.So if you like this sort of thing you will enjoy this film.I have to say that there is a bit too much of it for my liking and so fast forwarding through the sheepdog trials was the best option.
