Ten years later he's answering a plea for help from his father that reached him in faraway Wyoming. From a distant ridge, Joel can see his aged father being mistreated by gunmen who have occupied the ranch. Soon he, too, is in the clutches of Cass Berryman, to whom his father has misguidedly willed the ranch. Against all odds, and with little hope of help, Joel is determined to fight for his father and his home.
