Rustlers on Horseback

Deputy Marshal Rocky Lane (Allan "Rocky" Lane) pursues and captures an outlaw with the assistance of stranger Nugget Clark (Eddy Waller) and learns that the criminal was part of a scheme involving the nearby Reynolds ranch. Rocky and Nugget take the outlaw into town, where gang leader Leo Straykin (Roy Barcroft) mistakes him for the marshal and kills him. Rocky assumes the dead outlaw's identity to infiltrate the gang and discovers that Straykin's conspiracy involves a vast land swindle.
