Plot

edit

Bob Carson and his companion Hank O'Hara are journeying through the western frontier when they stop at a local café. A dispute ensues between them and the nefarious individuals Mort Van Vlack and Al Sinclair. Meanwhile, Alice Bartlett, who has recently lost her parents, arrives in town to settle a debt held by moneylender William Skinner against her late father's ranch. Unbeknownst to her, the note is a forgery orchestrated by Skinner and his associates, Mort and Al. A confrontation arises between Skinner and his accomplices over the division of the ill-gotten gains, resulting in Skinner's demise. Carson, investigating the scene, finds himself implicated in the crime when the Sheriff arrives and apprehends him for the murder.
