Bruce Campbell is a young Englishman who believes himself incurably ill. He travels to Canada to take up his grandfather's inheritance, Campbell's Kingdom, a valley high in the Rockies. Here he intends to spend the last few months of his life. When he arrives in Come Lucky, an old ghost town which has lost the prosperity of its gold rush days, he is greeted with hostility by the men in the "Golden Calf” saloon because, as Owen Morgan, a contractor for Henry Fergus, tells him, his grandfather's death ended a deadlock in Come Lucky. King Campbell the old man, believed there was oil in the valley. Therefore, he prevented Morgan from completing a dam and flooding the valley as part of a new hydro-electric scheme which would bring back prosperity.
