George Lansing has been summoned to England by Sylvia Marston, the widow of George's recently deceased cousin, Dick. The couple's parcel of prairie land in Canada is sitting unused, and in order to fetch the best price on the market, it needs to be worked by a competent farm operator. Against the advice of his friends, George volunteers for the thankless position. Will he be able to make it work?
