Courageous cattleman Buck Sinclair (Kermit Maynard) is hoping to purchase additional grasslands for his cattle and marry Beth Ringold (Mary Hayes), the attractive daughter of a nearby ranch owner.
Both of Sinclair's wishes are dashed when Beth's father and his ruthless partner, "Mileaway" Roberts, connive to drive Sinclair and other cattlemen out of business by thwarting the possibility of bank loans and tearing down their fences. When these tactics fail, Roberts and his henchmen resort to ambush and murder.
