Many men try and fail. Then along comes Mr. Roy Cave, a man renowned in the eucalyptus world. It's obvious that he is hardly the stuff romantic dreams are made of, and Ellen's Prince Charming turns out to be a mysterious young stranger who finds her wandering among her father's trees and spins her tale after tale, each one tied to a different kind of eucalypt. As the weeks go by, Mr. Cave continues to successfully identify every tree on the property, thus drawing ever closer to his prize. Meanwhile, Ellen's other suitor captures first her imagination and then her heart."
