In the 19th century in Ireland, Joseph worked hard in the fields. The two older brothers looked down on their younger brother and kept laughing at him. The three always fought each other when they disagreed. All the land in Joseph's house belonged to the landlord's house. One day, the housekeeper of the landlord's house was parading in the street. Father Joseph was there, and was shot and killed by this buddy. When Joseph saw his father's death, he was very sad. He wanted to avenge his father and kill the landlord, so he borrowed a gun and a horse to go to the landlord's house. On the way, I met the landlord, but it was unsuccessful. I came to the stable of the landlord's house, and was found by the landlord's daughter, Xia Lian, and was arrested by the landlord.

The injured Joseph was lying on the bed of Xia Lian. Xia Lian was a beautiful lady with strict family education. She had never seen the body of a man with Chi Guoguo, so she peeked at Joseph's little brother, very curious and very funny. Joseph's mother called the housekeeper to punish Joseph, but Joseph spat in the face. The big housekeeper must fight and kill Joseph, a shame of blood and saliva. On the day of the duel, the fog filled the air, and Xia Lian drove a carriage to rescue Joseph, and the two ran all the way to the free country of America.

On the boat, a decent American took the initiative to curry favor with Xia Lian, and when she got off the boat, Xia Lian's belongings were all deceived and robbed. The two had no choice but to obey the local bully's arrangement and provide them with food and shelter. Xia Lian worked as a worker on the assembly line, while Joseph made a living by punching. Joseph is getting more and more powerful. Beautiful clothes, beautiful hats and beautiful women are all available, but there is still a limit. Xia Lian can't stand it anymore, so she gets angry and dances. Joseph was in a hurry, and he was about to leave with Xia Lian, and he also made a fisting, and the two were swept out of the house.

In the icy and snowy night, Joseph and Xia Lian struggled to support. They hadn't eaten for three days. The two ran to someone's house, only to find out that Xia Lian was heavily shot and was dying. Just at this time, Xia Lian's father Mom and the satisfied big housekeeper came over together. Before that, the landlord's house was also burned. Charlene returned to her parents' arms again, while Joseph worked all the way to earn money, thinking of going to Oklahoma one day. Just when Joseph heard that some Irishmen were going to Oklahoma, Joseph left quickly and came here too.

In Oklahoma, the vast Great West, Joseph meets Charlene again. Here to win their own land through horse racing, Joseph, the big housekeeper and Charlene all participated in the competition. It was Xia Lian's dream to own a piece of land. Finally, Joseph won the land with his own efforts, and Xia Lian also returned to Joseph's side.
