Gunslinger Reb Kittridge rides into town expecting to take a job helping badman Matt Telford get rid of Dan Saxon, now the only other farmer in the basin. Instead the wily Saxon arranges that Kittridge become owner of his ranch, so the gunman lands up with the job of getting a cattle herd to their buyer while he fights off Telford and his men. He also has to find time to romance Saxon's pretty but independent daughter.
