Powder River Sheriff Jim Carson (Charles Starrett) fears bloodshed between incoming homesteaders and local cattle ranchers. Joyce Thompson (Iris Meredith), daughter of the leading rancher, Winchester Thompson (Russell Simpson), wins her father over to a peaceful solution. But rustlers led by Mort Kohler (Dick Curtis), who hopes to profit by hostility between the two factions, further inflames feeling by a wanton murder.
