Five years ago, James Williams (Billy) Killdeere left the outlaw life and started operating the family ranch. However, the murderous exploits of the Killdeere Gang send him on the run again, wounded and alone, with the law and his family and former friends after him. A man he once saved helps him.Though the man’s daughter Jenny at first distrusts Billy, her feelings eventually change toward him. But given his outlaw past Billy knows he can’t marry Jenny. He takes off his gun and tries to be just another man in the lumber business until one day his Uncle Moses finds him.

Moses holds Jenny prisoner to force Billy to ride with them on a big job. The gang blames Billy when the job goes badly and are poised to take revenge on Jenny, too. He’s left alone on the road, no horse, no gun, Jenny in danger and the posse bearing down. It will take all his skill as an outlaw and a gunfighter to save her, himself, and to make his uncle pay.
