Output (English): The film begins with scenes of life in Wyoming Territory, where new settlers join the cattle business by finding stray, unbranded cattle, called mavericks, on public land. The narrator explains that established ranchers use the socalled maverick law against the settlers, while sharpwitted men take advantage of the resulting conflict. After this introduction, Jim Averell Bishop is shown exhorting settlers to elect him governor to defend them against cattle barons such as Reece Duncan Scourby. When Averells speech is over, the famous stage performer Kate Maxwell OHara arrives with a group of showgirls. Averell has arranged for Kate to operate both a cattlebuying business and a saloon. Duncan warns Kate that he will kill anyone caught stealing cattle on his land, and Sheriff Stan Blaine Nicol warns her of an impending war over the cattle business. The tension between Duncan and the settlers rises as the settlers search for mavericks on Duncans land and outlaws hired by Averell steal Duncans cattle. Averell designed the KM brand for Kates cattle business in such a way that her branding iron completely covers Duncans bar double check brand when applied directly over it. When Averell explains this trick to Kate, he makes it clear to her that she will be hanged as a rustler if she informs the authorities, and Duncan refuses her offer to support him against Averell. Meanwhile, unknown gunfighters assemble in the nearby hills, and one of them shoots a settler. After Duncan attempts to stop a cattle roundup organized by Averell and the settlers, one of his men is killed, with Kates branding iron left near the body. To further increase the tension, Averell offers Duncan his support against the settlers immediately after inciting their anger against Duncan. Averells plan is to ignite a cattle war and promote his own political career by providing leadership once the war has begun. However, Blaine discovers Averells plan. After Blaine and Kate have explained it to their men, they stage a fake war, and Blaine forces Averell to signal his men. When the outlaws ride into town, they begin a gunfight against both Duncans men and the settlers. After Averell shoots Blaine, Kate catches him stealing money from the saloon, and when he tries to shoot her, she and Blaine kill him. After the fight, Blaine prepares to leave town, but Kate persuades him to stay with her. The film ends as they ride away to inspect some farmland for a new home.
