The story

A local man, Ben Ragan (Dana Andrews) encounters Tom Keefer (Walter Brennan), a fugitive from a murder charge while searching the Okefenokee Swamp for his dog, “Trouble.” Initially suspicious of each other, Tom survives a snake bite and the two form a partnership in which Ben sells the animals hunted and trapped by both. Eventually townsfolk become suspicious. Also, Ben helps Julie, Keefer's daughter, who is living in straitened circumstances, clean up and look more decent.
