Au début des années 1880, un escroc fait valider un faux document, censé dater de l'occupation espagnole, qui lui donne des droits sur plus de 5 millions d'hectares. Il s'y conduit comme un vrai dictateur en faisant payer des loyers exorbitants aux ranchers, et en expulsant ceux qui ne peuvent pas payer. Parmi ces derniers, on retrouve Stony Brooke, Tucson Smith et Lullaby Joslin. Ils font appel auprès du Président Garfield, mais lorsque celui-ci leur répond que la cour a validé le document, ils décident de devenir les "Night Riders" et d'attaquer les sbires de l'usurpateur pour rendre l'argent aux ranchers spoliés.
