US Marshal Cheyenne Davis as played by Lash LaRue is sent to an area undercover to find out why law and order is breaking down. The answer is quite simple, there ain't any law and order there, it's been taken over by the outlaws. As Gabby Hayes said to John Wayne in one of his best westerns Tall In The Saddle, he's all for law and order, but depends on who's dishing it out.
This film has the highly original concept of having the villain be the local wholesale grocer. The way he's treating the folks around there, destroying competition and charging outrageous prices, you'd think his trading post was on an Indian reservation.
When Steve Clark head of the vigilantes set up to fight these crooks is killed Lash and sidekick Al St. John go into action. Of course pretty Jennifer Holt as Clark's daughter is an added inducement.
Villain George Chesebro is an especially mean and petty villain so the way LaRue deals with him with a bullwhip in the end must have been quite satisfying to film audiences.
Not a bad LaRue film for the poverty row Producer's Releasing Corporation.
