The inhabitants of Andorra have lived in peace for hundreds of years thanks to its isolated location, but all that is about to change with the arrival of three travelers from America. Major John Armin is a veteran of the British army, Francis Ottiwell is a wealthy and adventurous man, and Robert Belsham is a young lawyer. While enjoying lunch following a chance encounter with the Syndic of Andorra, the travelers learn of a threat to the country's tranquility. A Frenchman, Count Hector de Sallet, desires to purchase the land as a site for gambling establishments. The Syndic refuses, as he fears this would lead to the country being overrun by outsiders. The travelers, taken with the beauty of both the country and its people, decide to help the Syndic thwart the Frenchman's plan by proposing an alternative path to prosperity: developing the infrastructure and natural resources of Andorra.
