GOOD GUNS MAKE FOR GOOD NEIGHBORS. Thaddeus Bolton sees himself as a cattle king. His ambitions are as big as the land and stock he just purchased near Smoke Jensen's Sugarloaf ranch. Bolton and his family are friendly enough, although in the case of his wife Emmaline, perhaps too friendly. While her husband stakes his claim with plans to spread throughout the territory, she's set her sights on Smoke. But fending her off is the least of Smoke's worries when outlaws sweep across the valley on daring rustling raids-hitting every ranch except Bolton's. Fearing it's only a matter of time before his cattle falls prey to the rustlers, Bolton takes the law into his own hands. Forming a band of vigilantes, he tracks down the men he believes are the thieves and hangs them, despite no evidence linking them to the crimes. Then when Bolton's ranch is actually rustled, his vigilantes go on an even deadlier, merciless rampage. To stop the escalating violence, Smoke forms his own posse to bring the outlaws to justice-only to discover that Bolton's plans are sinister and downright evil.
