Freckles Comes Home is a 1942 American film directed by Jean Yarbrough based on the novel by Jeannette StrattonPorter that was a sequel to Freckles by her mother Gene StrattonPorter.
When Jacks crooked friend Nate Quigley Bradley Page arrives in town, he pretends to be interested in buying lots from Danny, in order to pull a scam on him. Danny gets a green light for the road development, but Jack is found dead in his hotel room. Constable Weaver Irving Bacon gets suspicious. Freckles, who has fallen in love with Jane Potter Gale Storm, his childhood friend, suspects the newcomer Quigley of the deed, but doesnt seem to convince anyone else. Both constable Weaver and road commissioner Potter John Ince are fooled when two of Jacks old friends arrive in town, pretending to be FBI agents investigating Jacks death. Quigley and the two men then break in at the local bank. Freckles gets help from Danny to fix the car which the criminals are to use to escape, but the two crooks end up killing Quigley and take both Freckles and Jeff Mantan Moreland, the hotel porter, hostage. The robbers manage to crash the car and the pursuing constable Weaver is able to arrest them. The road development then starts, and Dannys finances are saved by the reward for capturing the bank robbers. After this turn of events, Jane thinks of Freckles as a real hero.
