When a group of criminal rawhiders ambush Heath, they bring him to the Barkley home to claim they rescued him to ingratiate themselves.
A family of rawhiders, plundering the countryside, bushwhack Heath and then decide to pretend to be the people who saved him. Their plan to rob the Barkleys is helped along because almost everyone is away from the ranch on a cattle drive. Only a weakened Heath, Victoria, Audra, and one of the bushwhackers' own women stand in their way.—dubchi
