Synopsis
Buck Duane, having shot a man in self-defense, is accused of many crimes that he did not commit. In order to prove his innocence, he joins the Texas Rangers, also hoping to win the approval of Mary Aldridge, a girl from the East. He is assigned to round up a gang of cattle rustlers who are supported by The Bowery Kid, a New Yorker, and led by the girl's father.
