Cattle are not getting through to the railheads in Kansas and Gene has been sent down to
Texas to investigate. There he finds the squatters have fenced off the range land with
barbed wire. Unable to get the ranchers together, he stages the fake funeral of a leading
rancher. Once assembled he gets the ranchers to agree to a large cattle drive. But
Ruttledge has paid the squatters to fence the land figuring a railroad will have to be built
letting him sell the land at a profit. Now he plans to stop the drive.
