In the 1870s Wyoming, Slim Sherman and his brother try to save the ranch after their father's death.

Jess, acting as deputy while Mort is in Denver, must foil a murder plot against an ex-con, who is also seeking revenge.

Slim's attempt to help an old friend goes awry when the man is suspected of murder.

After threatening a rancher, Jess is framed when that rancher is murdered, and must join an outlaw gang while trying to clear his name.

When Slim saves the life of a young Arapaho woman targeted by the Cady brothers, she insists that she belongs to Slim thenceforth.
