The film features actors: Wally Wales (Hal Taliaferro), Jessie Cruzon and Louise Lester. The Story line - "Wally Moore is unjustly convicted of a crime after been framed by circumstantial evidence by town-banker Brown and outlaw-leader Jack Bowers. After serving his two-year sentence he comes back home to find that his ranch has been foreclosed on by the bank. Wally, protecting Helen, the Sheriff's daughter, from being assaulted by Bowers, once again finds himself behind bars. Bowers and his gang lure the Sheriff and his posse out of town in order to rob the bank. Helen lets Wally out of jail and he pursues the four bandits." (Synopsis by Les Adams).
