Synopsis

John Macy runs a wagon train caravan which supplies a remote settlement. His son, Steve, helps him in running the caravan, as well as dating one of the local girls in the town, Ruth. Randolph Carter is a local banker who covets the commerce created by the wagon train. Carter hires gunmen to attack the caravan, who in a raid, kill Macy, and take possession of the wagons and their supplies. Steve, who was not with the caravan at the time of the attack, takes over running the caravan. Due to the losses inflicted by the gunmen, Steve is forced to go to the local bank for a loan, in order to keep the operation running. However, Carter is the banker and refuses to provide him with the necessary funds. Two of Steve's friends, Rough and Ready, go to the bank in an attempt to convince Carter to change his mind. When the opportunity arises, the two friends help themselves to the needed funds from the bank's safe.

Dick Barstow owns a horse ranch. When he comes upon a traveling salesman, Carry-All Roach, and his grandson, Bud, being harassed by Chet Jarvis, he intervenes, breaking up the incident. He invites the salesman to stay at his ranch to recover from the incident. Over dinner, Barstow and Roach become friendly, and when Roach learns that Barstow needs $1,500 to get himself out of a financial jam, he loans him the money. The next day Barstow goes to pay off his debt, which is to the father of Jean Morgan, his girlfriend. Returning to his ranch, he finds Roach by the road, dead. When he reports the murder to the local sheriff, he falls under immediate suspicion of having robbed and murdered Roach, since there is no proof that Roach loaned him the money with which he paid off Mr. Morgan. Intending to prove his innocence, Barstow evades incarceration. He returns to the site of the murder, where he finds a distinctive piece of a boot, which he recognizes as having belonged to Jarvis. Now suspecting Jarvis of the murder, Barstow heads to Jarvis' motel room to search for evidence. There, he uncovers Roach's empty wallet.
