Jake Houk is a rugged, demanding, provocative outlaw who cares only about what he wants and is ever determined to get it. And what he wants now is Ben Toliver’s 15-year-old daughter June. June has but one friend in the world, young, self-effacing, timid Bob Dilan, and it falls upon Bob to thwart Jake. Of course it is no contest. At least, not at first. But June’s grit and Bob’s determination, along with the enthusiastic Blister Haynes and the reluctant Dud Hollister, all combine to give Bob a fighting chance in the ultimate showdown.
