The story follows the tumultuous life of Harold Excell, the son of a minister, as he navigates the challenges of youth in a small town. His vivid temper and fierce individuality lead him into trouble, ultimately causing a confrontation that sees him facing serious consequences. The narrative revolves around themes of familial conflict, personal ambition, and the longing for freedom, as Harold dreams of a life far removed from his father's shadow in the world of cattle herding and adventure in the West.
