Susan Cameron, a young Missouri woman, arrives in Wyoming Territory
determined to homestead on her own. Her nearest neighbors, Ellen
Watson Averell and James "Jimmy" Averell, operate a small road
ranch not far from the Oregon Trail on homestead land formerly
grazed illegally by Albert Bothwell's cattle. Ellen purchased a
small herd of cattle and brand, but Bothwell claimed the Averells
were operating a rural brothel and that Ellen took calves for her
"favors." Trouble haunts Susan, her veterinarian friend, Michael,
and the Averells from the moment Susan attempts to take possession
of her new homestead land, culminating in the hangings of both
Ellen and Jimmy Averell by six prominent cattlemen, who then spread
vicious lies in their controlled Cheyenne newspaper, calling Ellen
"Cattle Kate." The mystery deepens when the cattlemen are brought
to trial and all the witnesses to the hangings have died or
disappeared and Susan and Michael are kidnapped by hired gunmen . .
