Joan Parlette was the beautiful young owner of one of the West's greatest cattle empires, which her foreman, Bob Webster, had built with the money her father had left her. Now that she was rich, her brothers and sisters, who had squandered their inheritance, came looking for a handout. Word of her fortune also reached the man she married--who had deserted her--and now he was coming back to claim her. While Indians gathered in the hills, a situation charged with danger developed among the oddly assorted group in the house. The code of the West required a man to settle his quarrels swiftly--and Bob Webster would do just that.
