Description

Shirley Benson was owner now of the beautiful Valle de los Reyes, mistress of the old Spanish ranch house and its faithful Mexican servants. On the night that her father was killed in a rustlers raid, she made the unpleasant discovery that the Box B ranch was heavily mortgaged and that most of her cattle had disappeared, stolen by the men who had murdered her father. With courage inherited from her pioneer forebears, she refuses to sign the quit-claim deed that would give Morton Sandell, a San Luis banker, control of the ranch. Instead, she follows the advice of her fathers old friends, Sam Hally and Seth McGee, grizzled veterans of the western cattle country.

Hally and McGee alone know of Cimarron rancher Clay Brants interest in the Box B ranch, and without explaining their secret to Shirley, call upon him for aid. A sworn foe of outlaws, only he could break the power of Sandell and his desperados. But a failed assassination attempt warns the three that someone is watching for him. Keeping his true identity a secret, Brant and the old-timers set out to save the ranch for Shirley and bring her fathers murderer to justice.
