Following an absence of eight years, Jet Cosgrave (
John Derek) returns to his hometown of Colton, Colorado. His quest is for the recovery of his rightful heritage, the great Circle C Ranch, from his uncle, Major Cosgrave (
Jim Davis), and to that end, he brings with him nine hired gunmen, headed by "Dude" Rankin (
Bob Steele). His accusation that his uncle stole the ranch by a will forged after the death of his father brings instant reprisals. Judy Polsen (
Joan Evans), one of a poor family of ranchers, falls in love with Jet after saving him from a bushwhacking by two Circle C gunmen, The Kid (
Ben Cooper) and Bert (
Harry Carey Jr.). She then vouches for him to her father, Chad Polsen (
Frank Ferguson) and her brothers Boone (
Slim Pickens), Asa (
Nicolas Coster) and Zeke (
Robert 'Buzz' Henry),
