Set in 1893, THE TOPEKA TERROR tells the story of a greedy, manipulative land-grabber, Barcroft, who tries to buy up the developing Cherokee Strip during the homesteader era. Barcroft victimizes a number of honest, hard-working settlers by recording false claims in the names of his own henchmen. When London and his two daughters, Stirling and Watts, are cheated, they receive a helping hand from Lane, a kindly federal agent, and Hodgins, a lawyer who fights for the people. With the law on their side, the cheated townspeople are able to take their revenge on Barcroft.
