The story begins in Galway, Ireland during the Irish Land Wars of a hundred years ago. There is great animosity between the wealthy land owners and the people who rent the land and till the soil. Joseph Donelly is the son of a poor farmer, whose dying words to Joseph are, "A man is nothing without land."His father's funeral is interrupted by an agent for the landlord who orders them off the land for non-payment of rent and sets fire to their home. Joseph seeks his revenge upon the landlord, David Christie, a decent man, unaware of the villainies of his agents. Joseph's plan to kill Christie is thwarted when he's stabbed with a pitchfork by Christie's daughter, Shannon, who discovers him hiding in their barn.While Joseph mends in the Christie home, Shannon tells him of her dream to seek her fortune and adventure in America where citizens will be given one hundred sixty acres of Oklahoma land. When Joseph is challenged to a gun duel by her fiance, Shannon saves the day by racing onto the dueling field in a carriage and carrying the confused Joseph away. She's determined to run away to America, but as a woman dare not travel alone. Joseph's presence as her servant will give her safe passage.The pair set sail for America, but upon arrival in Boston, Shannon is robbed of the valuables she had brought to finance her adventure and finds herself just as poor as Joseph. Undaunted, Shannon perseveres hardships and experiences she has never known. Joseph discovers there's gold in his fists and earns a small fortune fighting before losing it all in one brutal match. The two adventurers fall in love, but in a desperate attempt to save a critically injured Shannon, Joseph returns her to her family and leaves. The lovers meet again in the exciting climax which culminates in the Oklahoma land race.
