Plot

Somewhere in Wyoming Territory, the office of the local newspaper, Rock River Advocate, and its editor and proprietor, Richard E. Ross, gets harassed by outlaws. Dick publicly denounces Sheriff Luke Graham, accuses him of complicity with several crimes, including bank robbery and murder perpetrated by the outlaws, and vow to replace him with his friend, real estate agent Jim Dawson. As he does this, Luke, who had been eavesdropping the discussion, enters to tell him about a letter from Dick's daughter, Grace, saying she would move from Kansas City, Missouri, to Rock River to help out her father's newspaper. Jim also reveals he received the same letter. Luke then send for two lawmen, Crash and Dusty, who are Range Busters, to travel to Rock River and clear his name from Dick's accusations while the third Range Buster, Alibi, refrains from leaving.

As Grace is traveling to Rock River, her stagecoach is attacked by bandits while its driver is wounded, but Crash and Dusty arrive on the scene, scare the outlaws off, and escort her to Wyoming. When they arrive, Luke is glad to reunited with the Range Busters, but Luke is skeptical of the two. As he visits the Advocate, Crash finds Alibi working there as a typesetter. He then learns from Alibi that Jim has been spreading misinformation about the Range Busters, convincing most people in the area that they are outlaws working with the Sheriff. Later, while in a saloon, Crash avoids an ambush by Jim's cohorts. As Alibi watches from his window, Jim successfully proposes to Grace. In response, the three Range Busters concoct a plan to delay the wedding, but are unsuccessful as Grace is undeterred.

After news of the stagecoach driver's death reaches Dick, he forms a vigilante committee with Jim as its leader to crush the outlaws. Meanwhile, Crash and Luke discover the outlaw's hideout, but get captured. As they are being moved by the bandits, Alibi saves them and they escape. After they return is Rock River, the Range Busters detain the Judge who is going to marry Grace and Jim. Jim then sends his gang, the outlaws, to their hideout to collect the loot. After Luke learns that Jim is a wanted criminal going under an alias, he tells Grace and Dick while Crash follows Jim to the outlaw's hideout. After a fight, the Range Busters capture Jim and the outlaws and discover that it took so long yo find them because their horse's shoes were applied backwards. In the closing scene, the Range Busters visit the carriage of newlyweds Grace and Luke and bid their farewells.
