Fargo has Wild Bill Elliott coming back to Dakota Territory to take up a crusade that his murdered brother House Peters, Jr. tried. While Elliott was roaming the west Peters took up the family ranch and sublet it to a lot of homesteaders with the inevitable barbed wire that they bring to fence in crops. That got Peters killed and Elliott back to Fargo.
Elliott continues with his brother's ideas which is that the days of open range are over, that if worked right the farmers can sell their grain to the ranchers for feed as well as to outside markets. But some people are set in their ways.
Wild Bill really gets wrapped up in this one when chief enforcer Myron Healey and his gang capture him and send him back to the farmers and sympathetic ranchers gift wrapped in barbed wire. Quite lucky he wasn't killed in the process. All that did was get the peaceable man quite provoked.
Their are some plot holes in this western, but the final gun battle between Healey's gang and the forces of law and order and progress will not be denied. As if they ever are in these westerns.
