Jet Cosgrave (John Derek) returns to his hometown after a nearly decade-long absence to win back the family ranch that rightfully belongs to him. The man who stole the property from him -- his corrupt uncle, Maj. Linton Cosgrave (Jim Davis) -- has no intention of handing it over, though. In fact, Linton turns Jet into the town outcast. Not going down without a fight, Jet hires gunmen to aid him in his battle, while a poor girl (Joan Evans) who loves him also joins his cause.
