In love with widower Dan McBride (Stanley Brown),Carol Comstock (Kay Harris) persuades her father, Mark Comstock (Forrest Taylor), to graze his cattle on Dan's ranch, thus providing a much-needed $1,000 for the rancher and his young daughter Buckshot McBride (Buckle Tibbs billed as Norma Jean Wooters on Columbia's call sheet). However a gang of rustlers steal Constock's cattle and he accuses Dan of being in league with the rustlers. Carol calls on Steve Harrison (Charles Starrett), and ex-Texas Ranger turned rancher, and begs him to investigate and prove Dan innocent. Steve and his sidekick Arkansas (Arthur Hunnicut) start working on the case , but more cattle are stolen and the Cattleman's Association organizes a posse and starts after Dan. Disturbing complications arrive when Steve and Carol learn who is really behind the rustling.
