Fearless Indian fighter Davy Crockett, but is very timid around women, so he finds it impossible to tell Eleanor Vaughn how much he loves her. Hoping to inspire Davy, Eleanor reads Lochinvar to him, but even Walter Scott's romantic poem about a man who saves the woman he loves from marrying someone else seems to make little immediate impression. Then, Neil Crampton, interested in the sizable Vaughn fortune, begins courting the impatient Eleanor. Even though she loves Davy, she finally agrees to marry Neil, but on the wedding day, Davy decides to take Lochinvar out of England and bring him to the frontier. As a result, just before the bride and groom take their vows, Davy kidnaps Eleanor and marries her.
