Plot summary
Matthew Devereaux owns a vast Arizona ranch and mining empire, and he keeps every decision in his own hands. His three grown sons by his first wife, Ben, Mike and Denny, do the daily work but hold no authority, and their resentment draws them together against him. Joe, his son by his second wife, the woman the town calls Señora, wants no share of the empire; he rides the range alone. When Matt and Joe catch the middle brothers rustling cattle, Matt banishes them. Then a copper mine on Matt's land poisons a stream where the cattle drink, and Matt leads a raid on the mine offices.
