After a short stint in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as a delegate for statehood, Matt Landry soon discovers he'd rather be riding a horse on the open plains than sitting behind a desk. As he prepares to marry lovely Adrian Driscroll, daughter of the man who runs the huge Target Cattle Company, Matt can only hope that Adrian will understand that he must return to his old ways. Riding through the northern Wyoming Territory, Matt witnesses a couple being ambushed by masked riders. He quickly comes to the aid of the survivor, Bonnie McClain, who tells him the attackers were from Target. Matt is appalled to learn that the company will trample anyone or anything in its path. And now both he and Bonnie, as witnesses to her husband's murder, are in immediate danger. When rampant lawlessness ensues, Matt must take up a badge, all the while torn between two beautiful women. Trouble escalates in the valley, and Matt must choose sides as he goes down fighting for law and order...
