So he sides with Jemima and her foreman, Fed Sauermann, to get the rustlers off her land and bring Fetterman's plans tumbling down.

When the three are driven off the ranch, they find a hideout in the hills to hatch a plan to reclaim the ranch. It's not long before Luke Horn find himself fighting for his life - and the land of the woman he loves.
