Lance Mansfield couldn't fight Dick Kirby because it would be like fighting lovely Tenton Kirby, Dick's sister. He loved Tenton better than life itself even though she hated him and accused him of making an outlaw of Dick ... Beaver Creek was a hot-bed of unrest, and Lance was caught in the middle. Everyone blamed his outfit for the rustling that was going on. Then he was jailed for brand blotting. He escaped quickly - only to find himself in a range war that threatened to destroy Beaver Creek.
