Der gemeinsame Viehtrieb aller Rancher der Umgebung steht bevor. Kelly James und Bert Yates konkurrieren um die Leitung des Trecks. Bei der Jagd nach Wildpferden treten sie gegeneinander an, um zu beweisen, wer der bessere Mann ist.

The Cartwrights are about to start a major cattle drive with other ranchers. It has been decided that Ben's foreman will be trail boss on the drive. Weatherby, a fellow rancher who is also with Ben, has agreed to have Kelly as trail boss, until he finds out that Kelly was previously on a cattle drive with him, and fired him for drinking. Weatherby also suggests that his younger wrangler take the job as trail boss, and a conflict is started between both Ben's foreman and Weatherby's wrangler.
