While Lincoln waits for a way to return home, he decides to help the boy's mother's failing potato plantation by turning it into a cattle ranch. But first, he must outwit an unscrupulous businessman, outfight an evil witch doctor and turn the easy-going islanders into ridin' and ropin' cowpokes.

"A shanghaied Texas cowpoke jumps ship in Hawaiʻi and ends up turning a potato plantation into the island's first cattle spread. Period costumes, ranchland locations and swimming cattle to ships evoke 19th-century Kauaʻi. Originally titled Paniolo, the film misrepresents the origins of the first paniolos, who were Mexican-Californians who came to the islands to teach the Hawaiians cattle ranching in the late 1840's."
