A Sheriff and his posse split up to pursue a group of rustlers. Seeing the sheriff alone, the gang shoots him, leaving him for dead. He's found by drifter Gary Grey who treats his wound and takes him to medical attention in town. With his business done Gray leaves and sees the rustler's placing their brand on their stolen cattle. Believing them to be ranch hands, Gary asks them for a job, that their leader Rufe Matlock obliges. When the posse catches up with them, they escape leaving Gray. Deputy Ben Holt decides to handcuff, then brand Gray.
The Sheriff fires Holt for his cruelty, but Holt is actually a member of the gang of rustlers.

Nevada is a 1927 American silent Western film directed by John Waters and starring Gary Cooper, Thelma Todd, and William Powell. Based on the novel Nevada by Zane Grey, the film is about a former outlaw hired to protect a ranch owner's daughter, which angers the ranch foreman who is in love with the girl.

This lavish Western film was remade in 1944 as a B movie version titled Nevada starring Robert Mitchum—the only time Cooper and Mitchum played the same role; the remake was so early in Mitchum's career that he was billed with "Introducing Bob Mitchum as Jim Lacy."
