Tom Tyler is a road agent who keeps sticking up gold shipments. He only takes the gold from Al Bridge's mine, which he then distributes to various individuals with strict accounting. It's clear he thinks Bridge has cheated them and is making amends. When he meets Bridge in a bar, Bridge doesn't know who he is, but they get into a wrangle. Bridge shoots Frank Ball, whose mine is next to his, and whose claim he is wrecking. Meanwhile, Ball's daughter, Adele Lacy is on the latest stage he holds up. When she sees his face, he takes her prisoner for a while.
Although this short B western is edited at the slow pace that blighted the B movies at this time, there are several bright spots, including Miss Lacy's saucy, pre-code behavior, and some fine stunt work by Tyler. Like many Poverty Row westerns of the period, it seems to be underwritten and eked out by slow dialogue and overlong entrances, exits and riding sequences, but within that context seems to be full of zestful performances by Tyler, Bridge and Miss Lacy.
