When owners Mary and Jim Gavin refuse to sell their ranch, land grabber Cleet Dagston puts the Lazy M under siege. His hired gunmen murder Jim, run off his cowboys and scatter his cattle to the four winds, leaving his widow Mary and her three children at Dagston’s mercy. Just when all hope is gone, two strangers appear and sign on to fight for the Lazy M. And that’s when all hell breaks loose and Dagston’s men begin to fall like chips of wood in the wind. Written in the style of Zane Grey and Jack Schaefer, the Fight for the Lazy M is an homage to the western genre.
