Burt Jordan and his old coon hound Jasper never imagined they'd have to face off against big city developers who were hell-bent on bulldozing a beautiful hillside covered in oak trees. Wheeler-dealer Sam Hood desperately needed to score one more big hit so he could pay off his investors and retire in peace. Little did he know that on "a dark and stormy night" he would meet the greatest challenge of his life. In short, he messed with Mother Nature and he lost. While Hood tries to start up the project, employee Tom Blackfoot falls in love with a beautiful waitress who works in the local diner. The story comes full circle when her father and his dog challenge the developers.
