Synopsis
Buck Devlin purchases the deserted ranch called Empty Saddles, a former battleground between sheep and cattle ranchers, with the idea of making it into a dude ranch. Cimarron White, who had been the foreman for the previous owners of the ranch, hires on as foreman for Buck. Swap Boone, a traveling peddler, and his daughter Boots help Buck fix up the ranch, and it is soon filled with Eastern tourists, including Jim Grant and his daughter Madge. To give the guests a thrill, Buck stages a mock fight re-enacting the earlier range feud. It quickly turns real when the hired men are replaced by actual sheep ranchers and several of Buck's men are killed. Buck learns that the sheepmen, who have sworn vengeance on anyone buying the ranch, are prevented from taking it over themselves because of an organization of cattlemen called the Lobos. After their initial plan fails, the sheepmen plan to kidnap Madge and hold her for ransom. Boots overhears the plotters and at risk to her own life, warns Buck. Cim recognizes Grant as the former owner of the ranch, who is now the head of the Lobos. He joins with Buck and together they round up the outlaws. Buck finally realizes that Boots is in love with him and proposes to her just in time to prevent her from traveling East with the Grants.
