Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) goes to work on the lowlands after being told by the mountain men that he must do so to claim his right of inheritance.

During his time there, Jim begins work at a station owned by a man named Harrison (Kirk Douglas) where he meets his daughter Jessica (Sigrid Thornton) and the two fall in love.

After Jim accidentally allows a prized horse to escape, Harrison is furious and tells Jessica that she will be sent away to an all-girl's school and Jim will be dismissed.
