A young man in England is wrongly accused of a crime, so emigrates to New Zealand and works on a farm. He falls in love with Hazel, the joint owner of a nearby sheep station. She is also fancied by the station manager but rejects his advances. The "false accusation" and "pioneer settler" plot is similar to The Te Kooti Trail.
