Successful New York businessman Anthony Bard makes the decision to set out on an adventure and look for solace in the wide-open spaces of the West. He is drawn to the wild frontier by its allure of romance and freedom. But when he gets lost in a blizzard in Montana's Big Horn Mountains, his journey takes an unexpected turn. After being saved by some cowboys from the Diamond H Ranch, Bard slowly gets used to their hard life and discovers a hidden talent for riding and roping.
