A contented farmer, the narrator of Adventures in Contentment, takes a gray bag on his shoulder and sets out on foot along country roads with no fixed plan. He finds work and supper where he can, peddles spectacles, watches a Christian revival, meets a man possessed, and at last goes to grapple with the city before turning home.
