After his uncle is hanged, Ethan Cochran leaves his New York City job and comes to Buffalo, Wyoming, to inherit his uncle's ranch and find the man who led the lynch. Ethan is determined that since the big cattleman seems to be above the law, he will achieve his own justice. He steals the man's wife and finds the love of his life, and he destroys the man who lynched his uncle in order to steal his land. It's a story of life in Wyoming after the terrible winter of 1886-87 killed more than a million cattle in Wyoming and Montana. Another classic western by R. O. Lane.
