 Texas Ranger Buck Duane (George Montgomery) comes home to find that his father, Tom Duane (Russell Simpson), has been murdered. In revenging the death, he is branded an outlaw and is forced to flee to a small Texas town where others connected to his quest are. There, he is befriended by saloon entertainer Kate (Eve Arden) and meets and falls in love with Nancy Bowdrey (Lynne Roberts). He finally, after several gunfights, secures the evidence to clear his name, and is aided by his old Texas Ranger comrades in bringing the outlaws to justice.
