There is a feud between Walter's ranch and Decker's gang of horse thieves. Hoping to find out who is trying to kill him, Walter hires rodeo performer Whitney Rivell (Gibson) to get a job with Decker, but Whitney becomes the prime suspect when Walters is stabbed in the back with Whitney's knife, and has to quickly leave town. In his own investigation, Whitney discovers that Walter's foreman is actually working for Decker, so he must ride back into town to bring justice to the thieves, catch the killer, and prevent more bloodshed.
