Jennifer Holt's brother is shot in a crooked card game and she is threatened. Lash Larue intervenes. After that introduction, we learn that someone is trying to drive out the local ranchers. Can Lash stop them despite Al St. John's help?
It's not a particularly hard mystery to figure out, and the hero's ability to be in the right spot at the right time would be uncanny in anything longer than a one-hour B western. Still, St. John does uncle Roscoe Arbuckle's cigarette-rolling gag, Miss Holt is pretty, and Ernest Miller's camerawork is up to snuff in a pretty good print. No one ever thought these were among the greatest movies ever made, but they do fill an hour.
