 Narrow Pass, part of the Wind Valley ranch property, has long been a bone of contention among the cattlemen.Suddenly owner Jim Lance(Ed Coxen)is murdered by factions trying to get control of the pass. The will leaves the property to Ken Lance(Ken Maynard), his nephew, and Rae Marsh(Cecilia Parker), his adopted daughter, and neither knows the other.The will gives Ken a year to hold the property, otherwise to goes to Sam Burkett(Hooper Atchley)and Chris Hogan(Walter Miller), heads of the opposing factions.Burkett sends for the brother(Fred MacKaye)of one of his henchmen to impersonate Ken who is not known by very many people in the valley.The imposter stops at Valley City and asks directions of the postmaster(Lafe McKee.)Ken Lance arrives, discovers there is a man posing as him, overtakes the imposter in the blacksmith s shop and locks him up. He then wires Hank Rivers(Jack Rockwell), foreman of the Wind Valley ranch, that he will be arriving incognito. Burkett and Hogan are both determined to get the property and double-deal the other out of the pass later. Rivers tells Ken and Rae(spelled as the female version on the original prints---don t know how Realart spelled it on their redone,reissue credit frames)that Burkett and Hogan intend running 500 head of cattle through Narrow Pass and Ken says the price will be two dollars a head.Burkett send his henchman Denver(Ed Brady who, for whatever reason replaced Francis Ford after the original credits were prepared and not changed)to the narrow pass with instructions to get rid of both Ken and Hogan.Ken arranges with Rivers to block the attempted cattle run.Meanwhile, the real imposter has gotten free and told the sheriff (Jack Richardson) that he is the real Ken Lance and a posse is organized to get Ken.They arrive just as Ken is starting for the pass and Ken gets away.Rae, thinking that Ken is the imposter and has tricked her, listens to the arguments of the false Ken Lance to induce her to sell the property.
