Tired of the life of a gunfighter, Lish Henley settles down in the quiet California town of Peaceful Hill. The town, however, doesn't live up to its name, and it's not long before Lish finds himself the unofficial "mediator" of the town, which is being terrorized by various outlaw gangs. Lish has his own style of "mediating", however--he keeps killing members of rival gangs until they agree to holster their guns and leave the town alone. However, one day Big Bill, an old enemy of Lish's, shows up in town with his gang, looking for payback.—frankfob2@yahoo.com

The story concerns Lish Henley, an Arizona prospector, called the mediator, who shoots and wounds Higgins, the village bully. Higgins showed resentment when Lish ordered sody-pop at the bar. Lish learns of a town called Peaceful Hill, Cal., and decides that it will be an ideal home for him. En route to the place, he encounters a mob of strikers at Keswick, a mining settlement, and is forced to knock Big Bill, the leader, senseless. Big Bill and his gang follow Lish to Peaceful Hill and try to pay back the man for old scores. Maggie, the waitress at the hotel where the mediator stops, saves Lish by serving him a revolver on a platter just as the mob enters. In the fight which ensues, the mediator trounces the striker and his gang again. Lish's victory is the beginning of a love affair between Maggie and himself. Big Bill is enraged at having been beaten twice by the mediator and attempts to get him out of the way so that a shipment of rich ore may be stolen from a mine next Henley's own. Bill and his strong-arm crew capture Lish but he escapes from them in the mountains and returns to camp by the short, if desperately dangerous, route of a log flume. He arrives in time to thwart the robbers' plans but is wounded in the combat which follows. Maggie nurses him back to health. The bully's gang is rounded up and the mediator and his bride, Maggie, of course, find peace with the world at Peaceful Hill.—Moving Picture World synopsis
