Synopsis

A Texas Ranger pursuing Dave Hayes and Cloudy Jones for disturbing the peace in a camp is injured when his horse falls; the two men aid him, and, in gratitude, he lets them off; but as he rides away he is shot by an unknown assailant. Dave and Cloudy ride to Bowden to turn in his badge; and Dave, mistaken for a ranger, becomes interested in Molly Williams. Blake, a banker, and Edwards, a cattle buyer, determine to dispose of Dave by accusing him of murdering the ranger; but before the mob can lynch him, Dave escapes to another town. Dave then appears in a saloon at midnight, and just as the guilty man is about to confess, he is shot by Edwards, who imprisons Molly in a nearby building. Dave confronts Edwards in a fight and subdues him. With peace restored to the town, Dave and Molly are united.
