| When the boys of the Tumbling B reach the end of their long drive up from Texas, they have no idea that they are about to begin a war in this little cattle town. However, young Tom Lundy gets ambushed while courting a girl from the right side of the tracks. The men of the Tumbling B, led by strong and quick-drawing Conn Dury, are ready to fight but Tom's sister Kate has a better idea; the whole town will be destroyed for what they did to her brother. To do this Kate and Conn must face down the arrogant, narrow-minded Aaron McDonald who will stop at nothing to destroy them. | ||
