On the run after killing a man in self-defense, Ringo (William Elliott) lies low in a cattle town that isn't as quiet as he hoped it would be. Power-hungry landowner Proctor (Grant Withers) is trying to push out the local ranchers. When Ringo's sense of justice gets provoked, he throws in with the ranchers to fight against Proctor and his band of hired guns. But doing the right thing means risking capture and death -- especially when the Army puts Ringo's brother Mike (Jim Davis) on his trail.
