Tess of the Storm Country is a 1922 silent film starring Mary Pickford, directed by John S. Robertson, and based upon a Grace Miller White novel.

It is a remake of Pickford's film from eight years prior and was subsequently remade a decade later as a sound version starring Janet Gaynor.

Frederick's sister Teola fears her father, who thinks obedience is more important than love.

Dan tries to win over Teola's father's trust in him by suggesting he can throw the squatters off his land, because they are catching fish illegally.

When men come to the Skinner residence to find proof they're netting, Tess hides the evidence her father is a fisherman.

Later, on the way home, Ben Letts forces himself up to her as her future husband, despite the fact Tess is unwilling to marry him.

One night, Teola isn't allowed to leave the house, so Tess breaks in to get milk for the baby.

They together hit Ben unconscious, but Fred leaves bitterly as he is still shocked about Tess having a baby.

Fred realizes he has made an awful mistake, but Tess isn't able to forgive his horrible treatment towards her.

Leading actress Pickford's previous film Little Lord Fauntleroy flopped critically.
