A hired gun named Clayton Drumm is all set to hang when he is given a last minute chance to escape the gallows if he will agree to do a job for a railroad company. A homesteader named Matthew Sebanek has refused to sell his land to the company which has caused a major problem. Clayton readily accepts the proposition and heads for the Sebanek ranch. He meets Matthew and his beautiful young wife Catherine. Catherine immediately is drawn to Drumm and falls in love with him which complicates matters. Clayton also becomes friends with Matthew but lust takes over and he and Catherine eventually make love. When Matthew finds out he beats Catherine who during the fight thinks she has killed Matthew and runs off with Drumm. Sebanek recovers and asks his brothers to help him track down Clayton and Catherine. The railroad discovers that Clayton has double-crossed them and decides to eliminate everyone who stands in their way. Clayton returns with Catherine to help Matthew fight off the railroad's hired killers.
