There's something rotten about Opportunity, Kansas. The Texas drovers bringing herds to the railroad there hate the place. The town manages to bilk and cheat them. It's gotten so bad that the Texans are threatening to tear the town apart. Angie Drum, who inherited the weekly paper from her husband, is determined to clean up Opportunity. She's a veteran editor and a tough gal, but what she discovers about the crime ring operating there shakes her badly. Her editorials and exposes put her and her weekly paper in trouble and there is an effort to shut her up. When that fails, Angie Drum is in great peril. This is a drama about a frontier woman's courage and integrity and determination—and the price she pays to bring truth and justice to Opportunity.
