The classic Old West conflicts of cattlemen and sheepmen, of rancher and nester must give way to a common enemy. Someone is rustling livestock and each side blames the other. Into their territory arrives young nester Larrabie Keller, caught red-handed at the scene of a recent theft. Branded a rustler, he escapes quick retribution with the help of one who believes he is guilty but does not approve of his captors’ intent. From this point Phyllis Sanderson finds herself at the center of events, torn by conflicting loyalties and conflicting passions.
