Yarnell Cates his wife Thelma and his father are returning home with a wagonload of stove wood when they discover the sheriff's car in their front yard. Sheriff J. D. Hawkins is there to arrest Yarnell on trumped-up charges concocted by the prosecuting attorney and his brother the circuit judge. The charge is part of an ongoing feud between their families and the Cates.</span></p><p style='margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:Calibrisans-serif;'><span style='font-size:16px;font-family:Times New Romanserif;'>In a twist of fate Yarnell is forced to kill the sheriff in self-defense. This act incites the prosecuting attorney to form a posse with orders to burn down the Cates' home slaughter their livestock and shoot Yarnell on sight. A bounty of five hundred dollars is placed on Yarnell's head later increased to fifteen hundred dollars driving Yarnell and Thelma to seek refuge in a cave in the mountains. Throughout the winter they endure harsh conditions while evading the men of Sycamore County in a desperate bid for survival.</span></p>
