Dr. River Stone left his job at Rising Sun Memorial Hospital in Rising Sun, Kansas, to become a country doctor in the small town of Sugar Creek, Oklamoma. This was quite a change for him but he loved his work and loved helping folks. His best friend, Willow Cain, from medical college, left Rising Run to go back home to Sugar Creek and marry her boyfriend, Gavin Caldwell. River had fallen in love with Willow, but never told her until she was ready to board the train back to Oklahoma. He was too late. He went to Philadelphia to visit his brother, Harley, and his family. While there, he met Emily Blackwell. Once again, he thought she might be the one, but as luck would have it, she already had a boyfriend. On the train back to Sugar Creek, he met Zelda Snow, who was on her way to Hollywood to become a movie star. She was about the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was dressed to the nines. Little did he know that their paths would cross again one day. While out on the prairie visitng a new mother and her baby, an outlaw, named Boots, kidnapped Dr. Stone. Boots took him at gunpoint to a shack way out on the prairie where his brother, Roy, was holed up with a gunshot wound. He did all he could for Roy. He was praying that the outlaw would not kill him. Would Marshal Will Cain find out about the kidnapping in time to rescue him from the outlaw?
