Storyline

Bill Longley returns from a cattle drive and discovers an impostor has stolen his mail, destroyed a saloon and dallied with a pretty girl, causing his father to demand a shotgun wedding. The impostor, a criminal recently sprung from jail by a crooked gambler with a grudge against Longley, starts to have a change of heart when he discovers the respect and admiration others have for a man who stands up for the weak and has second thoughts about luring Longley into the trap the gambler has set for the Texan.

Quotes

Jebb Kilmer: You remember me.
Bill Longley: Yeah, I remember you. You used to hide behind marked cards; now it's hired guns.
Jebb Kilmer: He's just the bait; they're insurance. When the time comes, I'll do the job myself.
