From Wikipedia:
[Oliver] Seccombe proves to be a poor businessman with questionable morals
and the finances of the ranch are eventually called into question by the
Venneford's British investors. They dispatch Finlay Perkin, a dour Scottish
accountant, to audit Venneford's books. Seccombe has been secretly selling off
ranch cattle to fund his activities. Perkin soon realizes that Seccombe is
skimming money after seeing the combination of thousands of missing cattle and
Seccombe's palatial new ranch house, evidence of his profligate spending.
Seccombe's crimes are covered over however when a terrible blizzard hits the
region, killing many of the ranch's cattle and thereby hiding the losses
incurred by Seccombe's embezzlement. The blizzard saves him from formal legal
charges; however he is still compelled to resign in disgrace and turn over ranch
operations to John Skimmerhorn.
