Texan-turned-Yankee Arlen becomes the President's diplomat when the state resists efforts to let railroads cut into the land after the Civil War. This leads to bad times as the ranchers are unable to get their cattle to the nearest market in Abilene, Kansas. Lots of comedy throughout, including Gillingwater, who hates hero Arlen and can't understand women.
