The story takes place during the great western expansion in the United States. Yanxi (played by Richard Dix) arrives in the vast and desolate Oknamala with his wife Shabra (played by Irene Dunne), carrying grand ideals and hoping to make a mark there. The living conditions in Oknamala are extremely harsh and perilous; however, the couple works together to gradually improve and establish their home. As their lives stabilize, local ranchers feel their interests are being infringed upon, often causing trouble for Yanxi, but he cleverly resolves these issues with his wit. Yanxi has great sympathy for the local Indigenous people, while at the same time, he harbors hatred for the capitalists who oppress and exploit the natives. As time passes, the conflicts between both sides gradually intensify.
