The story
Former sea captain James McKay travels to the American West to join his fiancée Patricia Terrill at the enormous ranch owned by her father, Henry "the Major" Terrill.
The next morning, McKay declines an invitation from foreman Steve Leech to ride an indomitable bronco stallion named "Old Thunder", noting that the infatuated Leech is counting on him to fail in Patricia's eyes.
Finding Buck's posse in town, they beat and humiliate three Hannassey men.
