Synopsis

Drama set in Kenya. Two American cowboys are recruited by a British rancher to help him in a project involving the capturing and taming of wild animals and by breeding new stock to provide a source of food.

However the whole enterprise is opposed by a neighbouring farmer who feels that his herd of cattle is threatened and who sets out to sabotage the work done by the cowboys.
