Brian Middleton left his father's ranch long ago to make his own way. But now, he's returned to claim the land his late father left him-and learns the hard way that if you want to keep something in the wild west, you have to fight for it. With local lowlifes and shady con-men after the Driving D ranch, Middleton has no choice but to make a stand...
