Old Ben Hillary had a rustling problem — a bad one. Somehow the cattle-lifters were able to strike time and again, always where they were least expected, and then vanish into the wilderness with their stolen beeves.
When his hired hand, Buck Halliday, came up with a plan to beat them, Ben was all for it. But no one could foresee the bitter price he would have to pay ...
To make matters worse, Ben's brazen young daughter, Dora, had set her sights on Halliday, and that put Halliday at odds with the old man's bullying foreman, Adam Wyatt.
When the showdown came, Halliday wasn't sure he could trust Wyatt to stand by him.
In fact, he was pretty sure the man would take the first chance he could put a bullet in his back!
