Mary Ann Cates owns a farm with her husband. That all changes, though, when he ends up dead in a shootout with the law. Everything he'd told her had been a lie. "Cattle buyer" really meant "bank robber" and member of the James Gang. The widow is shunned by the citizens of her hometown. Rath Macon transformed himself from a penniless ex-rebel into a respected cattleman. It's a good life, just not good enough for his wife. He finds she's spent all their money and run away with another man. As the bank auctions off everything he's worked so hard for, Rath saddles up and rides out of Texas to look for a fresh start. That's how fate steps in and lassos Rath and Mary Ann.
