For some time a gang of outlaws has been making raids on Dallas. On one of their raids, the bandits kill the old banker Stone and attack the stagecoach in which is traveling the latter's son, Clay. The young man is robbed and left alone while bandits hold Katy Dior hostage. Clay manages to capture the leader of the band, Fast Draw, the outlaws threaten to kill Katy if Fast Hand is not released immediately. Against the advice of the sheriff and the judge, Clay frees the bandit and in turn he runs the risk of being arrested for suspected complicity with the outlaws.  However, he is granted forty-eight hours of time to prove his innocence. Within these limits Clay manages to recapture Fast Draw after having destroyed his gang.
