Kate Dukes' life hung in the balance ... and her father, the Governor of Texas, held his top Enforcer, Yancey Bannerman, responsible! When the Governor suspended him, Yancey decided - reluctantly - to strike out and go it alone.
A group of small ranchers were hoping to push their herds to a place known as Purgatory, where the best cattle prices were being paid. And it was vital that they make it - because if they didn't, they could kiss goodbye to their land, which was mortgaged to a robber baron known as Troy Gant.
Gant didn't want the cattle to reach their destination, and he was prepared to do whatever it took to make sure he got his way.
Yancey might have signed on as a trail boss, but he had to become all fighting-man in a hurry if he was to get the cattle to their destination. Luckily he had his partner, Johnny Cato along for the ride. But still ... it was going to be touch and go!
