Synopsis

A rancher fights to save the woman he loves in this action-packed Ralph Compton western.

Rancher Ty Farraday's hunt for stray cattle takes a turn for the worse when he discovers a shallow grave and the body of wealthy Alton Winstead, the owner of the Double Cross Ranch. Ty's first frantic thoughts are of Winstead's widow, Sue-Ellen, who picked Alton over him. Unfortunately, she chose poorly.

Alton masterminded a crime and left his helpers to swing for it. Hungry for revenge, the murderous hard cases have overrun the Double Cross and are holding Sue-Ellen prisoner. They believe she's harboring some very important information. Ty boldly rescues her from the ranch--only to find their troubles are only beginning....
