Этот фильм о городке золотоискателей в Калифорнии 1840-х годов — до того, как Калифорния стала штатом, и до того, как на территории появилось много «порядочных и хороших» женщин.
A Michigan farmer and a prospector form a partnership in the California gold country. Their adventures include buying and sharing a wife, hijacking a stage, kidnapping six prostitutes, and turning their mining camp into a boom town. Along the way there is plenty of drinking, gambling, and singing. They even find time to do some creative gold mining.
