Bronco hears shots and sees two men on horseback ride away while firing at him. He takes two shots at them but they get away and he notices a body on the ground. As he pulls the man's wallet to check his id, a posse rides up. The dead man is the sheriff killed by two bullets. The leader of the posse, Mr. Currier, upon hearing Bronco has fired two shots asks for a rope. At that point Lloyd Stover rides up and confirms Bronco's story saving his life. Stover is a returning war hero who won the Congressional Medal of Honor. His brother Frank stayed home during the war making his fortune and stealing Lloyd's girl Nancy Currier. With the sheriff dead, the town names Lloyd the new sheriff which he accepts and asks Bronco to be his deputy. During their first rounds, Stover runs into Dick Nelson who has a scarred left cheek. The run in stuns Lloyd who under questioning admits to Bronco he is the dead man he had told Bronco from whom he stole the Medal of Honor. Bronco finds the sheriff's killers but finds Nelson is involved along with blackmail.
