FEUDIN'! LOVIN'! RIP-ROARIN'!
Lew Remington is called home to Mesa City when the range war between his family and the Randall family flares up once again. As he rides to his father Ed's ranch, Lew is nearly killed by hired guns working for landscape painter John Heydrick, and he only escapes death by pretending to be dead after falling off his horse. Lew soon makes friends with Capt. Barnacle Pete Finnegan, an ex-sailor now making his living selling fake mineral waters, who offers him a ride into Mesa City. Arriving in town, Lew meets with his old friend, saloon owner Dan Muncie, who tells him that Ellen Tanner, his former girl friend, did not marry his rival, Bob Randall, after he left Mesa City in a futile attempt to end the Remington-Randall feud. Upon arriving home, Lew learns that the family homestead is in dire financial straights, as their old friend and lawyer, Ord Tanner, Ellen's uncle, has called in his note. Later, Lew captures Keno Hawkins, one of the men who earlier attacked him, but before the hired gun can confess all, he is killed. Meanwhile, Ord has a change of heart and attempts to end his association with the crooked Heydrick, but the painter first forces the lawyer to sign over his note on the Remington ranch. Later, Lew attempts to question Ord, but the lawyer drops dead before he can tell all. Lew is then falsely accused of poisoning Ord and is forced to make a hasty escape from the Happy Day saloon. Lew soon surmises that Heydrick is the real culprit behind Keno's and Ord's deaths, and with Barnacle's help, he discovers that there is a rich oil deposit on his father's ranch, which Heydrick has been plotting to obtain. While searching Heydrick's home, Lew and Barnacle find the poison that killed Ord, and they take the pitcher used in the murder to the coroner's inquest. Lew then uses the pitcher to trick Steve Grenfels, one of Heydrick's men, into confessing his boss's involvement in Ord's murder. Heydrick and his men make their own hasty retreat from the Happy Day, but are soon captured by Lew, Bob and their men.
