Plot


A farmer, Merritt, turns to violence when a powerful and ruthless land baron tries to take over his land. In the process he is caught between two women, the ambitious Laurie and the down-to-earth Nan.
Laurie was once Merritt's girl, but she chose to marry Will Isham partly for his money. Isham develops an "Othello" complex, convinced his wife
has returned to Merritt; and risks his entire empire on personal vengeance. Lee Repp, one of Isham's gunsels, is captured by Owen and makes a full confession after being on the wrong end of a camp cook's knife-throwing act.
Isham leads an attempt to intercept Merritt as Merritt brings Repp into town to put Repp in jail. Merritt and his allies sneak past Isham's men and get Repp into jail. Merritt sneaks past Isham's men and meets Isham in the hotel where they make a tenuous peace. As Isham is leaving the hotel to stop the violence, Dutcher kills him. Dutcher is then killed by Merritt.
Laurie vows to take good care of the ranch she has inherited, minus the range war part. This leaves Owen free to pursue Nan.
