Six years later, Jack and Elizabeth are living on an outpost in TheWildWest. They have an adorable little daughter, named Lloyd Sherman and played by guess who. For some cutesy reason, the Army is making little Lloyd into an honorary colonel. But now Jack is going further out west, which is "[[StayInTheKitchen no place for women]] [[JustAKid and children]]", so Elizabeth and Lloyd will be going back to Elizabeth's old hometown in Kentucky. With a couple new friends, Lloyd causes mischief in the Colonel's yard and he yells at her without realizing that she's his granddaughter. Oh, what will happen now? Will Lloyd's adorable charms eventually win over her crotchety grandfather and mend their divided family? Will Jack make his fortune out west or will he fall prey to a pair of wily swindlers?
