It has memorable and well fleshed out characters, a many layered plot and interesting bits of social commentary. However, Riders of the Purple Sage bucks this trend. Most cowboy stories tend to follow a simple revenge plot with a little romance thrown in.

Venters volunteers to help her and encounters a mysterious Masked Rider whose identity comes as a shock to everyone.

Jane herself is a wealthy rancher, whose herd is being surreptitiously rustled by unknown cattle thieves. His own hatred of their group is also slowly revealed. He strikes fear into the hearts of the Mormons who are strangely subdued in his presence. At this moment, a mysterious stranger, known only as Lassiter, appears and rescues Bern. She has many good friends among non-Mormons and one of them, Bern Venters, is captured by a group of Mormons who set up a kangaroo court and condemn him to death. They are compelling her to marry one of their own sect, though Jane thinks otherwise. It opens with the young and lovely Jane Withersteen being victimized and harassed by her Mormon Church elders for associating with Gentiles or Non-Mormons. Riders of the Purple Sage is set in 1871, in a remote part of Utah. It portrays the archetypal lone gun slinger, out to wreak revenge for past wrongs who falls foul of the rich and powerful and finally rides away into the sunset, having rid the town of poisonous villains!
