Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka

One of the busiest directors of westerns at this time, Edward L. Cahn helms this uninspired saddle saga about love and betrayal. Kip (Buster Crabbe) is a gunslinger with a score to settle. Seth (Barton MacLane), a villainous land baron, frames Kip's brother for a crime he never committed and using his supposed guilt as an excuse, he carries through his murderous intentions by lynching him. It seems the unfortunate man backed the ranchers in their claims against Seth. As Kip gets ready to avenge his brother's death and clear his name, Alice (Judith Ames) finds herself in an uncomfortable position. She is Seth's daughter, was engaged to Kip's dead brother, and now finds herself attracted to Kip.
