Matt Scofield tried real hard to stay out of other people's squabbles. He'd had enough fighting in the War Between the States and later in Mexico. As he rode toward his hometown, all he wanted was peace. So now, as he neared Liberty, Kansas, he tried to ignore the old farmer who was being beaten by three men wearing badges. He tried to ignore the way the trio were harassing the farmer's daughter. But Matt could just stomach so much. Before he knew it, he wasn't only fighting the three deputies - he was fighting everything corrupt in the town of Liberty. Fighting like crazy - for no sane man could hope to win such an uneven battle!
