Two hired hands working for a wealthy cattleman confront Lucas, insisting he vacate his ranch, which they've been using for grazing. When Lucas stands his ground, they assault him, dragging him away and setting his ranch house ablaze. They ride off with Lucas’ rifle, leaving him and Mark to face the flames. While Mark tends to the animals, Lucas sets off to find the men, ultimately confronting their employer, Mr. Jackford.
