Plot

Sunset Carson is in a posse of Rangers that pursues a gang of cattle rustlers led by the McKinnon brothers. The rangers badly wound Ed McKinnon, and the badmen stop the stagecoach into town to get help for Ed. Steve Carson, a newly graduated medical doctor and younger brother of Sunset, is on the stage. Not knowing how the man was injured, Steve offers to help and also naively imparts that he is Ranger Sunset's brother. As Steve applies his medical knowledge to save Ed MicKinnon, but is unsuccessful. When Ed MicKinnon dies, Cort murders Steve, and puts the dead Steve's body back on the stage with a note: "brother for brother."

With this lead, Sunset declares his intention to take revenge for his brother's killing rather than bring the killer to justice.
