Lassie lives with the Mitchell family on their winery in Northern California. She is happy with Clovis Mitchell and his two grandchildren who all love her. But one day, an unpleasant neighbor who is trying to buy the Mitchell winery decides that Lassie might be the dog that survived a fire at his place when she was a puppy. He convinces a reluctant Mr. Mitchell that he has a legal claim to the dog and takes her back to his estate in Colorado. Unhappy there, Lassie runs away and travels all the way back to California to her true home with the Mitchells. (official distributor synopsis)
