Since then Juiie has crossed and recrossed the great American plains learning to erect windmills and bringing water into the dry country. At the close of the nineteenth century, the trio manages to work their way into No Man's Land. Before they can reach their next job, however, they are stopped by three scraggly-looking boys. The recently orphaned boys are in dire need of a windmill and hope to pay Cap back in kind once their crops are harvested. The windmillers readily agree. But the powerful rancher Colonel Jess Chandless and his men have other ideas. Chandless wants the land those boys are sitting on, and knows that once they have a windmill, they will be difficult to move off the property. Cap's windmilling outfit will have to be stopped...
