 Red Ryder (Jim Bannon) gets a telegram from his old friend Dan O Connor (Forrest Taylor) asking for help in his fight against Faro Savage (John Hart) and his gang of rustlers. A gun dropped by Faro during a rustling raid makes Red and Sheila O Connor (Peggy Stewart), Dan s daughter, think they have ample proof against Faro but they are stymied by the law. Buckskin Blodgett (Emmett Lynn) and the Duchess (Marin Sais), Red s aunt, find the body of O Connor who was killed when Faro s men sent the sheriff (Bob Duncan) out on a ruse. Sheila, discovered while rifling Faros office for evidence, escapes but not before she is recognized. Faro kills one of his own henchmen and then frames Sheila for the murder. Red and Little Beaver (Don Kay Reynolds as Little Brown Jug) set out to clear Sheila and to try to find evidence against Faro and his gang.
