Espy Norwood, still bruised by the death of his wife, agrees to represent a syndicate and take over the managership of one of their Texas ranches- failing due to stock depredations. Taking his youngster with him, he has many problems to face; the resentment of Mary whom he replaces and displaces; the possible guilt of his foreman; the identity of the cattle rustlers. But the kidnapping of his boy shows him his true friends- and enemies..... Active and able.
