Ben Gaultt, owner of the Iron Springs Ranch in a remote part of Arizona, had the prospect of driving 4000 head of cattle to the railhead. He hired the toughest trail-driver he could find, only to have him wind up with a knife in his back. His replacement encounters long running fights with outlaws and Apache Indians and rebellion within his outfit. A gripping tale raw courage and last-ditch loyalty.
