Plot

Two brothers and a cousin are trying to make a go of their ranch in Kansas. Deke Turner (George Kennedy), someone who wants to see them fail, is doing everything he can to see that happen. The younger brother, during an argument with someone who works for Turner, he kills him in self-defense, but Turner makes it appear that he killed an unarmed man. The younger brother is then urged by his brother to run. When he is caught and is about to be brought back to Kansas to be hung, his brother and cousin break him out. Once they break the younger brother out, they are pegged as outlaws. They decide to get back at Turner by robbing him.
