Though Texas lawman Capt. Porter (Randolph Scott) believes it's his duty to honor the local leaders, he can't ignore the corruption of the Yankee politicians who are giving him orders. When Confederate veteren Ben (Charles McGraw) is unjustly sentenced to death, Porter decides he has had enough of his new bosses.

Joining Masterson in his efforts to clean up a lawless town are a couple of locals: Masterson's old chum Billy Burn and landowner Allen Harper (Robert Ryan).

Fort Worth
Reformed gunman Ned Britt (Randolph Scott) travels to Fort Worth, Texas, to take over the abandoned newspaper.

In Fort Worth, Ned discovers Clevenger is battling the burgeoning railroad and decides to fight back using the power of the press.
