David is a city boy who is unfamiliar with the ways of country life, but he quickly adapts and falls in love with the natural beauty of the area. However, David's peaceful existence is disrupted when a group of wealthy businessmen come to the area with plans to build a dam on the river that runs through his property. David is strongly opposed to the dam, as it would destroy the natural habitat and disrupt the lives of the animals and people who depend on the river. The conflict between David and the businessmen escalates, and David finds himself at the center of a heated legal battle. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a young woman named Ruth, who shares his love for the land and his passion for protecting it.
