When Robert Jaston, a Massachusetts dairy farmer, learns that the three-person board who governs the town has voted to take his land by eminent domain, making way for a gambling casino, he says, "Over my dead body!" He hires the only attorney who will take his case, a young woman also at odds with the town establishment. She wages war in the courtroom while he battles the underhanded maneuvers of those who hold all the cards. Together their tactics enrage their opposition until someone buys the farm!
