The story of the famous Tennessee frontiersman, soldier, scout, and Congressman who fought and died at the Alamo.

Fearless Indian fighter Davy Crockett, but is very timid around women, so he finds telling Eleanor Vaughn how much he loves her impossible. Hoping to inspire him, she 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 impatient Eleanor. Although 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.—Pamela Short

Eleanor, the daughter of wealthy landowner James Vaughn, is a frequent visitor at the home of Widow Crockett. She is supported by her son Davy, a famous Indian fighter, hunter, and trapper. Eleanor often accompanies Davy when he goes to inspect his traps. One day Eleanor stirs his imagination by reading to him the romantic story of Lochinvar. As she reads the vision materializes before Davy's eyes and the impression of the knightly conduct of this hero leads afterward to a great event in their lives. Eleanor and her father go on a visit to England, leaving lifelong friend Colonel Royston in charge. The colonel's only weakness is a fondness for cards, and during their absence he loses more than he can pay. Hard-pressed, he forges the absent Vaughn's name to a note. Vaughn dies at sea and Crampton, the holder of the note, becomes aware of the forgery. By threats of exposure he coerces Royston into helping his nephew Neil Crampton in his plan to marry Eleanor. Neil by his polished manner and flattery wins Eleanor while the bashful Crockett loses ground. Eleanor and Neil ride into the mountains searching for mistletoe. They nearly perish in a blizzard and are attacked by wolves. Davy Crockett saves their lives. The true worth of this great frontiersman and the underlying motive of Neil's courtship are impressed upon Eleanor by this harrowing experience. Eleanor decides upon a strange course and in a unique manner shows Davy Crockett her preference for him. He plans a surprise for the visiting guests at the rapidly approaching wedding of Eleanor and Neil. The appointed day arrives, and the guests are given the thrill of their lives.—Moving Picture World synopsis
