Welles Fargo man Robertson in trying to arrange passage for a stage line through a rancher's land. The man, Harry Mackin, is however in a feud with another local, Ted de Corcia. The fight is over water, de Corcia has it, and Mackie needs it. Mackie is forced to haul water from ten miles away to keep his stock alive.
Also in the mix here are the grown children of both men. King Donovan can't wait for his dad, de Corcia to die. He wants to control the ranch. De Corcia's other son, Ron Hagerthy, is madly in love with Mackie's daughter, Jackie Blanchard.
Donovan decides to rush matters and kills off one of his cousins and tries to frame one of Mackie's kin. Wells Fargo detective Robertson sees through the frame and spills the beans. Now Donovan is really peeved and heads off to kill the girl, Blanchard. Robertson and Donovan's father, de Corcia give chase and capture the swine first.
The two families make up and a wedding is soon planned between the two clans.
This is a quick and to the point episode with Donovan in particular, shining as the murdering lowlife. This is a nice looking episode with some great location work and nary a sound stage in sight.
