Plot

Fred Porter is U.S. Secret Service agent on the trail of a gang of outlaws.

Entering a cattle community as a stranger, Porter rescues a young rancher from an ambush. It seems that a jealous woman, rejected by the ranger who has been wooing another in town, has sent her henchmen out to kill him.

The culprits happen to be members of the same gang that Porter has been tracking. [2]
