James McKay ankommer til det vilde vesten fra østkysten for at gifte sig med Henry Terrils forkælede datter, Pat. Henry ligger i bitter strid om vand med sin nabo Rufus. McKay kan ikke undgå at tage stilling i striden, men hans måde at løse konflikter på falder ikke i god jord hos hverken Henry, forvalteren Steve eller Pat. Kun Pats veninde, Julia, forstår, at McKays manglende lyst til nævekamp ikke nødvendigvis betyder, at han er en kujon.
