All the possibilities are there for him: the old family ranch, gold in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and the daughter of his old neighbors who has grown to become a beautiful young woman.Can Chance deal with the unresolved issues from his past to claim a good life in the old West? His resourcefulness, skills and toughness will all be put to the test.
