Brad Winters, ramrod of the block F ranch, only wanted to do his job - round-up the cattle, corral a new remuda, and the hundred and one other chores necessary to run a ranch. His boss, Matt Farrell had other ideas: he wanted to re-enact the Battle of Hashknife Ridge, which had been fought here 15 years earlier. It meant a meeting of North and South - with all the old hatreds far from buried. There were brawls, shootings, assassination attempts, robberies and finally the Battle. By the time it was over, it was a wonder anybody was left alive.
