In a western town robberies and assaults are carried out by a mysterious gang that is then blamed on innocent citizens, who are hanged. Following one of these executions, Dan now an orphan accepts the invitation of a charlatan who works out of a wagon, claiming to be a dentist, and he becomes his co-worker. Dan returns many years later to the same town, and realizes that the country has changed little: the robberies of furs and attacks on hunters are still repeated. The young man, determined to avenge his father's death, confronts and kills Murdock and Gorman, two members of the gang of outlaws but cannot find out the spy, who by means of carrier pigeons, alerts the gang leaders of the departures of fur shipments. After another aggression and confusion which generates a delay it is finally discovered that Torrence, a peaceful and respected citizen, is the leader of the gang.
