All of the boys at the Flying U grumbled among themselves when they heard that the Old Man's sister was coming to spend the summer.

Britt Hunter is a small fish in a big pond. His little ranch, the Quirt, has a few hundred head of cattle; the neighboring ranch, the Sawtooth, has tens of thousands. Britt and the other small timers manage to scrape by, but only at the sufferance of the Sawtooth. And the Sawtooth is always interested in expanding. When Britt’s city-bred daughter comes for a visit and witnesses a murder, she inadvertently puts the Quirt and the Sawtooth on a collision course. ( Tom Penn)

Andy quickly sets off to tell Chip Bennett and the rest of the Happy Family at the Flying U about the insidious plot that could sound the death knell for the Flying U.
