Luke Johnson, part owner of the C Bar L ranch, has no objections to the homesteaders in the area; he"d been a farmer himself once. But other ranchers around, especially Josiah Strang, believe the farmers are rustling their cattle and should be run off the land.When the farmers put up a candidate for sheriff and the ranchers ask Luke"s partner, Clay Peters, to oppose him, the two factions square off for battle. And when the farmers" candidate is murdered at the Fourth of July celebration and farms are set on fire, Luke and Clay realize that a bloody range war will follow—unless they can find a way to stop it...before the flying bullets stop them!
