Widowed US Marshal JD Cahill, one of the most feared marshals in the US, has jailed many outlaws , but he has a problem raising his sons. When Cahill pursues a gang of crooks, Abe Fraser seduces Cahill's sons, 17-year-old Danny and 12-year-old Billy Joe, into a bank robbery that kills the sheriff and his deputy. Danny and Billy Joe quickly realize that they are in a fix without their father's help. Cahill visits the tracker Lightfoot to follow his sons at every turn. Cahill shoots Fraser and accomplices, and his sons hope for a mild sentence.
