After the death of their father, his three sons continue to run the family ranch. The eldest is the boss, the youngest a bit of a tearaway. Their mother dotes on the middle son, trying to protect him from the world and get him to move back East with her. Not wanting to hurt her feelings but not wanting to leave, he finds his brothers often doing his fighting for him and he starts to earn a reputation as a coward.
