Big surprise for the Lonesome Cowboy: a rich widow and admirer of his exploits has bequeathed him a 250 acre cotton plantation in Louisiana! Thrust into the role of a rich landowner, welcomed as one by his white neighbors, he will have to fight to gain the trust of his terrified black employees and split his heritage among them. A goal towards which he'll receive help from the local Cajun community - and from the Daltons!
