 Clay Wheeler (Ted Adams), a supposedly law-abiding citizen of a Texas cattle town, is really the haed of a gang of outlaws. When the wealthy father of Letty Cranston (Louise Stanley) and the sheriff (ed Cassidy) and a doctor are all killed, Texas Ranger Jeff Hayden (Johnny Mack Brown) shows up, undercover, to investigate. He suspects Wheeler, especially after the latter takes over the sheriff s office, and becomes engaged to Letty and seems to have some sort of lien on her property. Jeff rescues her from a runaway buggy, a near tragedy engineered by some of Wheeler s gang. When Wheeler sees that a romance is blossoming between Jeff and Letty, he starts a rumor that Jeff is hanging out with saloon dancer Lolita (Anita Carmago) which upsets Letty and enrages Ortego (Julian Rivero), Lolota s sweetheart. Ortego attempts to murder Jeff and fails miserable and even ends up spilling the beans about Wheeler s involvement with the killings. Meanwhile, Letty,who is really, really hacked off about Lolita, is about to get married to Wheeler.
