When Reason Cordell is shot out of the saddle after being caught red-handed rustling Stirrup C cattle, he is sentenced to hang by a jury of ranch hands out for blood. Yet fate intervenes when the owner of the Stirrup C makes Reason an offer no sane man can refuse and that is to take orders from one designated man for one year, learn the ropes, and half the ranch will be his; or else be turned over to the law for just punishment. But, there's a catch. Reason takes orders from no man. Especially one he's sworn to kill And, unknown to them both, there is one enemy among the ranch hands dead set on thwarting Reason's success. No matter how many men have to die in the process.
