When young vet James Herriot arrives in the rugged Yorkshire Dales, he finds a community of quirky farmers, cantankerous livestock, and a never-ending parade of emergencies. From delivering breech births in the dead of night to wrangling mischievous piglets, Herriot tackles each challenge with unflappable good humor and expert care. As he navigates the idiosyncrasies of rural life alongside his wife Helen, he discovers the profound satisfaction that comes from a life of service.
