John Dawson (John Wayne) becomes sheriff of a lawless town and goes up against a nasty saloon owner, Ace Holmes (Warner Richmond) who's been terrorizing the citizens of the new frontier town. Ace and his gang of outlaws are too much for one man, so Dawson deputizes a gang of friendlier outlaws lead by Kit (Al Bridge) and together they try to clean up the town. This was Wayne's second western under the new Republic Pictures banner. Muriel Evans co-stars as Wayne's Love interest. Written by Robert Emmett Tansey (Westward Ho) and directed by Carl Pierson (She Devil).
