Australian Marion Hastings has been living the good life abroad while her father, a rancher at the Rangle River station, has had a difficult time. Tough foreman Dick Drake takes it upon himself to write Marion and tell of her father's hardships. Marion and her amusing Aunt Abbie fly home, meeting silly Reginald Mannister along the way.
