Fall has come and it is time to ride into the mountain pastures and bring down the herd and get back to the ranch in time for a good Thanksgiving dinner. As you crest a hill you spot rustlers rebranding one of your steers. There are too many of them to catch and hang so you decide to brand them with lead and send them to blazes right where they are.

It was a good thing you caught them rustlers before they could brand your cattle but the bad thing is some of them got away and are going for help. Best you catch up with them before they gather too many of their gang. You follow their trail to the line shack where you see lots of horses tied up and smoke coming out of the chimney.

You successfully cleared the line shack of them rustlers but now you have another problem. All the noise from the dynamite and shooting interrupted an Indian marriage ceremony going on just over the next rise. It seems Chief Buffalo Hide was marrying off his son Buffalo Chips to Princess Pretty Ugly, a maiden from a nearby tribe. Truth is, ol Buffalo Chips got a good look at his bride for the first time and decided it would be better to die a warrior s death than have to marry Princess Pretty Ugly. So he rides off in the direction of the shooting. You see him coming with some of the other warriors who figure if Buffalo Chips dies, they are next in line to marry the princess and figure they are better off dying with Buffalo Chips.

You finally make it back home after all the shooting and killing, and your wife starts yelling at you for not bringing home a turkey for dinner.
