Synopsis
During a range war between sheepmen and cattle ranchers, Julia Starke's father is brutally murdered by the Martin brothers. Wils McCann, a decent cattle rancher, takes pity on the girl and goes to work for her tending sheep. Sam Martin tries to force his attentions on Peggy Starke and inadvertently injures the girl. An enraged Julia takes a shot at Sam and wounds him; Julia's brother, Phil, later kills him in self-defense. Jim Martin has Julia arrested for Sam's murder and then incites a mob to attempt a lynching. Wils's men break up the mob, and Jim Martin is brought before the court to stand trial for the murder of Julia's father.
