Jeff Clayton wins $5,000 and a ranch in a poker game, half of which belongs to the brother and sister David and Helen. He’s robbed of the money by a Mexican bandit named Carrancho. They see the intrusion as hostile and they try to challenge the validity of Jeff’s claim by call in a lawyer named Dundee. He, in fact, intends to seize the property, with the help of a group of outlaws led by Jimmy Black. Pursuing his goal, Dundee makes sure that David is accused of the murder of the former banker of the city, but has actually been killed by Jimmy’s henchmen. The young man is taken away to be hanged but the intervention of Jeff, who, thanks to the testimony of his friend, David, and proves Jimmy’s innocence. The clash between Jeff and the outlaws is inevitable, but Jeff with the help of Carrancho, who turns out not to be such a bad guy after all, emerges victorious and in time exposes to all that Helen is in love with the wicked and deceitful Dundee, who is killed in dramatic fashion. Finally liberated from the dishonest and ambitious Dundee, Jeff comes into possession of the ranch by marrying Helen.
