Plot

[edit]

To the irritation of the US Government, the Denbow family freeze out homesteaders by denying access across their land, using the government land for grazing their cattle herds.

Meanwhile, to evade a murder charge, Glenn Denbow marries the only witness, Jane, who's conveniently in love with him, but favors the settlers. When Glenn goes back to his blackmailing old flame Lottie, a warm regard develops between Jane and cousin Kirk Denbow. Things come to a head when an impending range war coincides with a rustling foray.
