Augustus McRea and Woodrow F. Call, former Texas Rangers, are partners and friends who have had many dangerous adventures together. Gus is a romantic, an unwilling rancher who knows how to deal with women without getting into trouble. Call is a driven, demanding man, a natural leader who has no patience for weakness. He is obsessed with the dream of setting up a ranch far away. The two men are as different as night and day, but both are go-getters who know they can count on each other. Gus is drawn into Call's dream, and a motley crew of cowboys, emigrants and scouts gather in their wake.
