Young Bettina Warren inherits a construction camp. She brings along her lawyer, Walter Daniels, to inspect the camp and to run it until Bettina gets married. However, Daniels’ heavy-handed management style—which included firing popular and experienced foreman Herb “Overalls” Drew and replacing him with inexperienced and roughneck alcoholic Buck Savage and his cronies—results in tensions boiling up in the crew, who wants Savage thrown out and “Overalls” brought back, a sentiment shared by Bettina because she has fallen in love with him. Daniels, however, is determined to do things his way. Complications ensue.
