It is 1884 and Caleb O’Rourke leaves his home in Connecticut to seek his fortune. Still enamored with his dime novel visions of the “Wild West”, he drifts westward over the next couple of years, acquiring experiences that prepare him for life as a cowboy. Eventually arriving in Montana, he is “found” by rancher Matthew Rangely, and achieves his goal on the Circle-T Ranch. Five years later, much to her parents’ objections, a young, willful, well-to-do, city-bred Marie Devereux, boards the new westbound Northern Pacific train to take a position as a schoolmarm in Missoula, Montana. On the train, she encounters the very same Matthew Rangely, who suggests that she consider finding her place in his little town. Fascinated by his description of life in Weston, including the need for a teacher, Marie decides to take him up on his suggestion. On the wagon trip to Weston with Rangely, Marie meets her first cowboy, Caleb, and is intrigued by this tall, taciturn young man. Her skill as a teacher and his willingness to be stimulated intellectually result in changing expectations for both of them, and therein lies the tale of two expectations.
