Lucas Lawson returns for scientific sheep farming. He foresees sheep plague, proposes prevention, but is mocked by Cynthia Sutton and Ricky Walsh. Villagers use toxic feed, forcing Lucas to sign liability waiver. Plague breaks out, village flock wiped out; only Lucas's sheep safe. He refuses emotional blackmail, sticks to principles, secures orders, builds ecological mountain pasture. Facing crises (poisoning, wolf attacks), Lucas resolves them, leading trusting villagers to prosperity.
