톰 조드는 감옥에서 막 출소하여 어머니와 가족이 있는 곳으로 돌아온다. 어쩌다 싸움에 휘말렸다가 실수로 사람을 죽여 4년을 복역한 뒤 가석방된 것이다. 하지만 돌아온 현실은 어둡기만 하다. 지독한 가뭄 그리고 거대 회사와 은행 빚에 쪼들리다 못해 가족은 쫓겨나기 직전이다. 마침내 톰 조드의 가족은 일자리가 넘친다는 낙원의 땅 캘리포니아로 이주를 결정한다. 고물 트럭에 삼대가 모두 타고 길을 떠난다. 한때는 마을의 존경받는 목사였으나 지금은 걸인이 된 케이시도 그들과 함께 간다. 하지만 우여곡절 끝에 도착한 그곳은 듣던 것과 다르다. 여기도 악독한 농장주들이 폭력과 술수를 동원해 배고픈 하층민들을 갈취하고 있다. 톰 조드는 이 모든 과정을 겪으며 사회를 보는 새로운 눈, 사회 개혁 의지를 갖게 된다.
