Synopsis: The strongbox with eight thousand dollars in it was gone. Mark Kelton was all alone on the sweeping western plain-no one to turn to, no place to go. That's when Bronc rode into his life. A tough "gettin'" man, Bronc Curtis stiffened the eighteen-year-old orphan into a hardened rider, an experienced cowboy. It was Bronc who taught Mark how to savvy your man, how to shoot first, how to survive. The boy learned it all, and he learned quick. Because somewhere on those plains his parents' murderer was riding free...and Mark Kelton would never be a man until he brought that killer down. Together, young Mark Kelton and his friend Bronc Curtis homesteaded'a ranch through a bitter winter, all but spilling their guts to keep the stock alive. Together they rode, worked, fought. Bronc saved Mark's life when he stopped a man who pulled a gun on the boy. And Mark returned the favor when he routed a pack of Indians who ambushed their ranch while Bronc stayed soundly asleep. They were a team until Mark married the lovely daughter of a neighboring rancher ... until his new father-in-law set out to prove something about Bronc Curtis, something that might lead Mark Kelton to the one man in the world he had vowed to destroy.
