Seventeen-year-old Wulf Baker has been crossed by his cruel stepfather one too many times. Before he kills him and winds up at the end of a rope, Wulf decides to make tracks out of town. He heads for Billings, Montana, where his older cousin Herschel Baker keeps the peace as an ex-rancher turned lawman. Sheriff Baker is mighty glad to meet his young cousin - and to see he's good with a gun. He could use a good new deputy.
