After being wrongfully denied justice, a hore trader seeks his own justice on a treacherous rancher.
The Jack Bull tells the story of Myrl Redding, a Wyoming hore trader who clashes with Henry Ballard, a fellow rancher, after Ballard abuses two of Myrl's hores and their Crow Indian caretaker, Billy. When Judge Wilkin throws out Myrl's complaint, the war he wages to force Ballard to nure the emaciated animals back to health escalates into a vigilante manhunt, murder and the possible defeat of Wyoming's bid for statehood.
