Sundell Lacey is framed and facing hanging charges when he is forced to join the Dash Cogburn outlaw gang in order to survive a bad fall off a mountain trail that left him with amnesia. Rosey Denver was witness to the robbery in Brotherhood and was kidnapped by the gang and held hostage. Even though she was only fifteen, she found herself falling in love with her protector, the young cowboy, Sundell. Westley Payson was the scum of the gang. He was not happy when Sundell claimed responsibility for Rosey, pretending to have his way with her to keep her safe from the other gang members.
