action

Former cowboy Brent Landers wants to become self-employed as a cattle breeder, and to do this he buys a herd of cattle from his old friend Gil Clawson. However, he stole the cattle. An argument ensues between Landers and the herd's rightful owner, Stan Clevenger, in the course of which Clevenger is shot. Landers has to flee, and hunts Clawson from now on to prove his innocence.

In the desert, Brent finds a young woman, Lucy Tillson, who was raped by bandits and then left tied up. He saves her and takes her to a doctor in the nearest town. Despite being wanted on the wanted list, Brent will remain there until she recovers.

The bandits also finally show up in town. In addition to Averly, son of the wealthy farmer Ranchester, Clawson is one of them. Brent tries, with the help of the doctor, to hunt down the gang. The sheriff is also one of his allies, although he is suspicious of Brent and is considering handing him over for the reward that is offered. When he suspects he has been set up by Brent, he even arrests him. Brent is released after the doctor vouches for him.

Ranchester, who now knows that Brent is wanted, accuses him of raping Lucy and incites the townspeople against him. With the help of the sheriff and the doctor, Brent and Lucy escape. Ranchester declares the sheriff deposed.

On the run, the two meet Clawson, who is shot by Lucy, and then Avery Ranchester, whom Brent takes prisoner. Finally, there is the final showdown between Brent and Lucy on one side and Ranchester and his people on the other. When Brent runs out of ammunition, the sheriff and the doctor appear, accompanied by the magistrate responsible. Lucy testifies against Avery about what he was found guilty of. Brent is acquitted of Clevenger's murder for acting in self-defense.
