Theodore Roosevelt must fend off a powerful neighbor, the Marquis de Morรฉs, who is intent on seizing Rooseveltโs newly built Elkhorn Ranch in an underhanded land grab. To save his ranch, Roosevelt travels to the home of the Marquis and his beguiling wife, Medora, who is just as cunning as her husband. Back at Elkhorn, Rooseveltโs new ranch hands, former lumberjacks Bill Sewall and Wilmot Dow, are attempting to master the saddle when their bronc-busting lessons are suddenly cut short by the arrival of the Marquisโ henchmen. For one long night, Elkhornโs very survival hangs precariously in the balance.
