Don Ulma had heard of the Bell ranch but who hadn't in this part of the country. By a fluke in being in the wrong place at the wrong time Don had the chance of working on the ranch. While taking the money which Harmon Bell had recovered from bank robbers Don was involved in a shoot out at the bank when the bank was being robbed again.

Don and Bells adopted son went to Idaho to bring back a herd of Appaloosa horses. Along the way the horses were stolen and Don had to get them back.

He stopped at a ranch ran by too woman and ended p marring one of the girls. He started a ranch there and while getting under way ended up with a herd of children which had lost their parents or had been abandon.

Don found it took guns and guts to hold a ranch in the Bad Lands of Indian territory.
