Plot
An Easterner inherits some ranch property way out in 1930's Arizona. So he takes a train west. While there, he learns the historic ways of the land and its people. He becomes enamored with both. Moreover, he solves a baffling cattle-rustling mystery. This puts him in good stead with an old rancher and his beautiful daughter. In the end, he winds up with both a ranch and a wife to help him run it.
