Jerry Sutton is wounded while helping Buck Gallagher's outlaw gang get some of its members out of jail.  He is rescued by his friend, Kent Rogers, who helps him recover from his wounds.  The town forms a vigilante group under the leadership of Collins, an unscrupulous authority figure, and intends to rout Gallagher's gang out of the area.

Kent joins the vigilantes, but reluctant to hunt down his own friend, he convinces Jerry to take a job leading a wagon train to Arizona.  The train owners distrust Jerry, however, and continue on their own trail until they are attacked by bandits.  Kent is suspected of involvement in the robbery, and the vigilantes bring him back to town.  However, when he proves his innocence, they insist he bring in Jerry.

After Kent finds Jerry at his girlfriend Lupita's house, Gallagher shows up with the loot from the robbery and he and Kent fight.  Gallagher's face is shot off with his own rifle, and seeing an opportunity to clear Jerry, Kent puts Jerry's clothes on the body just before the vigilantes arrive.  The group decides to discontinue their search after seeing what they believe is Jerry's body, and Kent and Jerry are free to leave for Arizona, where they plan to make a new beginning.
