Hunt's men are sent to hunt a wolf pack killing cattle, but the disappearance of every hunter sent makes Hunt suspect something else is at play. Meanwhile, his Utah hotels take shape until word arrives that the mayor's wife is scheming to pressure the Territorial Governor into forcing a cut-rate sale of the hotel and its prized piano to the church, threatening eminent domain if she doesn't get her way. Hunt scrambles to save the piano with help from Steinway's Jules Frigman. As two new recruits arrive to replace his losses, Hunt makes clear to Earl he won't babysit spoiled politicians' kids. After buying another ranch near Topeka, he inherits a vicious fighting bull he decides might suit a rodeo owner hunting for a new star attraction.

Plot (may contains spoilers! - click to read)

Hunt’s men are sent on a mission to find a wolf pack killing cattle, and any hunter sent to eliminate it is never seen again. Hunt begins to wonder if it’s the wolves that are doing the killing. Hunt loses one of his men while on the mission. Hunt’s Utah hotels and food stores begin to materialize when Hunt receives word from Richard Slater, his hotel manager in Salt Lake City. An arrogant lady friend informed him of the mayor’s wife’s plans to have the church leaders gather at next month’s meeting to pressure the Utah Territorial Governor into forcing the sale of the hotel and piano to the Mormon church at a fraction of the hotel’s and piano’s cost. If this fails, she bragged they would force an Eminent Domain policy that would allow Mormons to take what they wished from non-believers. Hunt quickly plans to rescue the piano before it is too late and asks Jules Frigman of Steinway Mfg. in New York for help. The Marshal Service sends Hunt two new recruits to replace the men Hunt has lost. Hunt warns Earl not to send him spoiled politician’s kids to raise. Hunt buys another ranch near Topeka and inherits a vicious Mexican fighting bull. Unsure of what to do with it, he talks to a rodeo owner who is looking for a new bull to replace his top draw.
