Johnny Brownell, former Confederate officer turned Federal agent, is sent to Texas during the reconstruction years to obtain evidence against a gang of raiders who have been making life difficult for the local carpet-baggers. He saves the life of Shorty Kendall, an unreconstructed rebel about to be hanged, and this wins him the gratitude of Belle Chambers, a widow whose husband was killed in the Civil War who hates all Yankees with a fever.
Johnny Mack Brown stars in an agreeable oater which passes the time well enough, but it never reaches exciting heights. Gunplay is light, but it's not too bad nevertheless as a time passer. The subject of carpetbaggers and the south is interesting, but the plot lacks that drive and excitement. Raymond Hatton and Evelyn Brent as Belle Chambers lend good support.
