Plot

Seven years after being expelled from the city by cattle baron Tucker Ordway, Larry Madden returns to take revenge and claim his rightful land. He also plans to resume romance with beautiful Corinna, Tucker's daughter. Incredulous Corinna finally allies with Larry, who is still undecided whether to kill Ordway, as doing so would separate him from society for the rest of his life.
