Plot
When Rudy Wallace returns to his father's ranch, he finds it completely destroyed. The entire Dallas area is under the rule of the wealthy Morrison, who wants to get rid of the troublesome local farmers with the help of the violent Mark and is also responsible for the death of Wallace's father. After unsuccessfully trying to get other residents to act against Morrison, Rudy goes after him on his own, but is hampered in fulfilling his revenge by Sheriff Raf, who is after Wallace over a fight. Raf gets to know Rudy's character and eventually helps him complete his revenge.
