He returns to Sundown country and the XO Ranch of which he was half owner, only to find that Sheriff Bent Hooker and his two brothers now own the XO, and are fast taking over everywhere. Is it possible for him to fight this combination when he cannot, as a condition of his parole, use a gun or even become involved in anything considered troublemaking?
