Temple Houston, the flamboyant son of Sam Houston, works hard to live up to his famous name as a top attorney in the Oklahoma Territory. With a flair for the theatrical that once included shooting blanks at the jury, Temple treats the courtroom as a personal stage, but not everyone enjoys the show. His antics soon get under the skin of his courtroom rivals, the Jennings brothers, and the feud erupts into bloodshed. Bat Masterson, lawman-turned-reporter, tracks down a witness to learn how Temple survived an attempted assassination and if he ever escaped the shadow of his famous father.
