Ace Brockaway, a gambler who wants to build a private empire out of Pecos Flats, bribes a renegade band of Indians to terrorize the citizens and raid the wagon trains of Matt Carter. Steve Blake, also The Durango Kid, prevents Brockway's henchman, "Buckshot" Thomas, from beating up the timid Marshal, Smiley Burnette, and Steve is made a deputy marshal. Carter tells Steve he is forced to sell 500 head of cattle to raise $20,000, and he turns the money over for safekeeping to Jim Traynor, a young reporter who loves Carter's daughter, Lola. Brockway guess that Traynor has the money and he and Thomas try to force Traynor to hand it over. But Steve, as the Durago Kid, has also guessed the Brochway would do exactly that.
