    A comedy in which Mulvenna, an Ulster student recently turned fugitive, goes to Bull Moose City, Idaho. There he encounters Brice Walker, who like Mulvenna is originally from "the Moss" in Ulster. He, a Protestant who has spent years living in Idaho, takes this son of his former Catholic neighbour under his wing. The two team up with various other compatriots to win through a tough situation.
