Brief Synopsis:
After being booted out of Laramie Micah Ellis (Begley), the head of a
conniving family of drifters, sends his cardsharp son and saloongirl
daughter to Shiloh.  The Virginian has his suspicions of the two youngsters
who pretend to be respectable folk, but Randy and Jennifer trust and accept
them.  Taken in by their friendship the duo, who had only half-heartedly
gone along with their father's scheme, want to stop the sham.  So Micah goes
head with cattle rustling behind their backs.
