Tap and Pepper are ready to settle down. Too bad no one else is. Now that Tap's a husband and soon-to-be father, he'd like to settle into a quiet routine. But with him, it's more like riding a bucking bronco down a sheer cliff without a saddle. He's no longer an escaped fugitive running from his past. Or a Wyoming lawman backing down a riotous mob. Or a brand inspector dodging rustlers' ambushes and bullets. Now he's just Tap Andrews, rancher and family man. And he's moving a very pregnant Pepper and their eleven-year-old ward Angelita to a new life in Montana. Awaiting them is the sprawling Slash-Bar-4 ranch and 50,000 acres of rolling range land and timbered valleys. Tap will operate in a partnership with Stack Lowery. So perfect. But the new location and occupation do hold a couple surprises. Cattle grazing in their living room. Indians camped in their yard. A notorious pack of outlaws plaguing them. A pair of inept bank robbers bumbling around. And a pacifist family being violently forced off their homestead. Tap still needs courage and his gun skills to settle this part of the West.
