The relentless revenge of Marc Challon against the woman he had married when he finds that he's lost her, and the XO ranch- pride of two generations, to a richer railroading man. In the attempt to break his enemy, Marc finds that bitterness exacts its price in blood, the satisfaction of his success countered by the destruction of his home, but he is at last void of hatred to make a new start with a new woman. Strong stuff- and spirited too.
