Synopsis

As a boy, Pete Ainslee witnesses his father's murder by Steve Gary. Years later, now known as The Ridin' Kid, Pete wounds Gary, then rides to Cactus Bar, where he and "Spider" Coy trap Gary's gang and force them to depart. Taking cover in an abandoned mine, Pete meets Bonita Coy and saves her life. They become friends, though she is jealously guarded by another man who betrays Pete into the hands of the gang. By a ruse, Bonita saves Pete, but during their escape, she is wounded and Pete rides into town for a doctor. The gang follows and attempts to capture Pete, but he stampedes their horses. Disgruntled, the gang turns on Gary, and he is killed. Pete returns to find Bonita out of danger and happily awaiting him.
