Chester Royde, un milionario americano, viaggia in Scozia con la sua nuova sposa Carrie e la sorella Myrtle, per scoprire di più sulle origini scozzesi di Carrie. I loro nuovi "parenti" si rivelano un po' più autenticamente scozzesi di quanto si aspettassero. Ben Nevis, Laird del castello di Glenbogle, è ferocemente protettivo nei confronti delle sue terre e dello spirito del clan Macdonald, ma essendo a corto di soldi non disdegna i tentativi di far sposare l'ereditiera Myrtle a uno dei suoi tanti figli muscolosi. Ma poi un gruppo di escursionisti inciampa nella sua brughiera e rovina una giornata di caccia, scatenando una guerra totale tra nobili e popolani.
