Synopsis


Young  Pud is orphaned and left in the care of his aged grandparents. The boy and his cantankerous  old  grandfather  become  inseparable friends.  But  Gramps is concerned for his grandson's future and wary of a scheming relative who seeks Pud's custody. One day Mr. Brink -- an agent of Death -- arrives to take Gramps  "to  the  land  where  the woodbine  twineth".  Through  a  bit  of  trickery, Gramps confines Mr. Brink, and thus Death, to the top of an old apple tree,  giving  Gramps extra time to resolve issues about Pud's future.
