Plot

Jimmy Wakely, an undercover lawman posing as a singer at Dawson’s saloon, arrests a gunman named Becker after cattleman Curtis accuses him of murdering rancher Steve Graves. Meanwhile, rancher Reed, head of the Cattlemen’s Association, considers relocating their headquarters due to a series of attacks on local cattlemen. Dawson, who also leads the Merchants’ Association, hires attorney Carol Madison to defend Becker. The case takes a turn when Curtis, the key witness, is killed and Becker is released. Judge Madison, Carol’s father, returns to town after negotiating a railroad spur line extension but is soon murdered as well. Jimmy then sets out to uncover the truth behind the killings and the motive driving them.
