- Narrow Pass, part of the Wind Valley Ranch property, has long been a bone of contention among the cattlemen. Suddenly owner Jim Lance is murdered by factions trying to get control of the pass. The will leaves the property to Ken Lance, his nephew, and Rae Marsh, his adopted daughter, and neither knows the other. The will gives Ken a year to hold the property, otherwise to goes to Sam Burkett and Chris Hogan, heads of the opposing factions. Burkett sends for the brother of one of his henchmen to impersonate Ken who is not known by very many people in the valley. The impostor stops at Valley City and asks directions of the postmaster. Ken Lance arrives, discovers there is a man posing as him, overtakes the impostor in the blacksmith's shop and locks him up. He then wires Hank Rivers, foreman of the Wind Valley ranch, that he will be arriving incognito. Burkett and Hogan are both determined to get the property and double-deal the other out of the pass later. Rivers tells Ken and Rae (spelled as the female version on the original prints---don't know how Realart spelled it on their redone, reissue credit frames) that Burkett and Hogan intend running 500 head of cattle through Narrow Pass and Ken says the price will be two dollars a head. Burkett send his henchman Denver to the narrow pass with instructions to get rid of both Ken and Hogan. Ken arranges with Rivers to block the attempted cattle run.Meanwhile, the real impostor has gotten free and told the sheriff that he is the real Ken Lance and a posse is organized to get Ken.They arrive just as Ken is starting for the pass and Ken gets away. Rae, thinking that Ken is the impostor and has tricked her, listens to the arguments of the false Ken Lance to induce her to sell the property.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
