Summary[]
Hoss wants a wild stallion for breeding. He's having second thoughts about the partner he chose until he meets his wife.
Plot[]
Contentious horse wrangler Lafe Jessup is one ornery character; he'd rather brawl than be a husband. Prudence, the wife he'd deserted a while back, interrupts a fight he's having with Hoss for some important news: she's pregnant.
In typical unbending fashion, he wants nothing to do with his spouse or child.
