Texas cattle rancher Harmon Early moves a mixed herd of cattle from his home in Palo Pinto County, Texas, to the rich grasslands of southwestern Idaho in the 1870s. There he makes friends with Layne and Dottie Murrow and their son Johnny, and leases their land to use until he can build his own ranch buildings.
There are three other large ranchers in the area, and two of them, John Spooner and Milton Longway, try to run Early off, but with no success. Harmon Early is a Confederate veteran of the Civil War who claims that he ran enough as a soldier, and he doesn't intend to run again.
In the mean time, Harm meets a lovely Georgia girl, Tina McWilliams, a guest of the Murrow's, and the two are drawn to each other immediately. As the romance blossoms, Harm takes care of the cattle business, running his large crew and prepares for the hard winter to come.
Finally, Harm asks Tina to marry him, and she accepts. The future in Idaho for the Texas cowboy and the Georgia peach is set to last forever.
