Plot
Texas cowboy, Lincoln Costain, gets "shanghaied" in San Francisco, then jumps ship and washes ashore on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, right into the arms of widow Henrietta MacAvoy and her son who are struggling to make a living as farmers. A lot of wild cattle often trample their crops, so Costain gets the idea to start cattle ranching instead. The Hawaiian farm hands don't readily take to the American cowboy culture, and Calvin Bryson, is a banker with eyes to grab Henrietta herself. He also holds Henrietta's mortgage and wants the land for himself and his prompts Lincoln to stay and help Henrietta instead of following through with his plan of returning home to Texas.
