The Gray Towers Mystery

Orphan June Wheeler leaves Chicago, IL, after she inherits a vast ranch in the West. Although, her ranch foreman, half-breed Jean Bautiste, is in love with her, June prefers her wealthy neighbor, Billy Durland, who is later elected sheriff. June's cousin, Tom Makinnon, arrives at the ranch, claiming rights to half the land. While they survey the estate on horseback, June slaps Tom for getting aggressive with her, then loses her revolver as she rides away. Tom is later found dead with June's gun nearby, and she is arrested.
