Cast

Set in the lawless San Joaquin Valley of the 1870's. Murdoch Lancer had not seen his sons since they were boys. Plagued by land pirates, the rancher located his grown offspring through Pinkerton Agents and offered to give them each one third of his sprawling spread if they would help
him to manage it. The young men agreed, although they turned out to be fellows of a decidedly different sort: Scott was a Boston dandy, and Johnny was a dyed-in-the-wool Westerner, tough and cynical.
