After five years of virtual banishment because he sold out his
small outfit to the Middle Arizona Cattle Company, giving it a
foothold on the Mesa Grande range, violent-tempered Joe Bonnyman is
summoned back to Lodgepole by his father when it appears that a
cattle war between the syndicate and the various rangers is
imminent.
During his short stay in town, Joe has an unpleasant meeting with
Ed Merrill, the brother of a girl Joe had once courted. Warned by
Merrill to stay away from his sister, Joe whips the man in a fist
fight. Later that same night Ed Merrill decides to ride out of
Lodgepole to his ranch, rather than face humiliation the next day
over the fight. On his way to the stable to get his horse, he sees
a light in the Acme Land Company's office and realizes that someone
is opening the safe. While he is deliberating what to do, the
hold-up man comes out, sees him, and brings down his gun on Ed's
head with a vicious blow. From a piece of evidence found at the
scene of the crime, it appears that Joe Bonnyman did it.
"Troublesome Range" is a classic story of good and evil, of a man
forced to do whatever it takes to defend his honor and his
town.
