Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When Sheriff Jake sees a man at the safe and then finds the payroll gone, he trails him. Just as he is about to arrest him, the man saves his life. Still suspicious, he joins up with the man and later they learn that Melgrove, the towns leading citizen, is trying to take over the area's ranches by having his gang stop all incoming supply wagons. With the ranchers about to sell to Melgrove, the two newcomers say they will bring in provisions.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

| Goofs | Carruthers and Withers pursue the bandits across the plain, but fail to recognise Danti when he and Malgrove find them with the body of Dan Mason. See more » |

John Carruthers:
I'm glad you decided to drift along with me. It's kind of lonesome trailing alone. See more » |
