Saunders with his Cattleman's Protective Agency is running roughshod over the ranchers. Lawyer Larry Kimball is fighting him but he needs a rancher that will stand up with him against Saunders. He finds him when Lou Gehrig retires from baseball to take up ranching. When he arrives in Montana, Lou discovers his sister is being squeezed by the Cattleman's Association, which in that neck of the woods is nothing more than a protection racket. Lou expected to relax on his ranch but quickly joins Larry in the fight.
Not exactly being a trained thespian, Lou Gerhig played the only role he could have played: Lou Gehrig. In fact he's got the best line in the film when he tells the bad guys that hearing their operation and how it works gives him the feeling that he's back in New York right now.
