Art Logging and Darrell Stroud became friends while serving in the Confederate Army. After returning home to Texas after the war, all they wanted was to be left alone to work their land and raise their families. However, they soon discover they have to survive punishment the Yankees gave the South because of the Civil War.

With lawlessness permeating Texas, follow these boys as they become gunmen and fight against the villainous lawyer, Lassiter, rustlers and outlaws to help establish some type of lawful protection for people in the area. Even the Comanche and Kiowa want to destroy their farms and livestock, as well as the farms of surrounding friends. But the Choctaw and ex-slaves become friends with the boys and help the fight for survival.
