A family of seven, the Pruitts, settle a remote island in "Barnetuck Bay". They life a quiet life on the island, fishing, digging for clams, and generally never bothering anyone. One winter they get isolated when the bay freezes over, trapping the Pruitt family on the island, but they have enough food and get along just fine. Unfortunately, the folks on the mainland figure out that the Pruitts are marooned on their island.
