Romance of the Limberlost is a 1938 American drama film directed by William Nigh and starring Jean Parker, Eric Linden, and Marjorie Main.

After Mrs. Parker leaves, Nora sends Laurie to the general store to buy soap with the money she has earned from selling the butterflies.

Nora tells her that her mother also wanted to leave the swamp, but her husband left her penniless, which caused her to commit suicide.

Laurie visits Mrs. Parker in order to sell the rest of her butterfly collection to hire Wayne to represent Chris.

At the trial, the prosecuting lawyer asks Laurie multiple questions, some of which the judge deems leading, but Wayne does not object.

In the early 20th century, it had been systematically destroyed to clear the land for agriculture, even though Stratton-Porter and other naturalists fought to save it.

Photoplay reviewed the film favorably, noting, "Sincerity and simplicity give charm to this Gene Stratton-Porter story... Eric Linden, Marjorie Main, and Betty Blythe, the silent queen, do nicely.
