While seeking the truth about a dead Larabee ranch hand, Ben is caught up in the hostility between the Larabees and the Kendalls, unaware the widowed Vera Kendall wants Ben dead and buried because she is Laura in disguise. The lovely Roxanna Larabee, is courted by most of the men in the valley, including Chandler Strong, who may be Avery.
