Synopsis
Upon his arrival in Dry Bottom, New Mexico, Easterner Kent Hollis beats up the town's crooked boss. Kent then decides to stay and bring law and order to the community. When he discovers that Big Bill's men are rustling his cattle, Big Bill threatens him, challenges him to leave town within a few hours, and then attacks him. Kent is nursed back to health by Nellie Hazelton, the woman who is also desired by Big Bill. Kent places his name in consideration for sheriff and enforces a fair election even though Big Bill's men attempt to stuff the ballot box. Kent wins the election but also the ire of Big Bill, who chases and attacks him. Kent wins the shootout and the love of Nellie. Law and order is restored to Dry Bottom.

Notes
A news item written prior to production stated that Mix and the co-star, director and cameraman from his previous film Treat 'Em Rough (Jane Novak, Lynn Reynolds and J. Dev. Jennings, respectively) were to work on The Coming of the Law. Although one review credits Novak, Reynolds and Jennings with working on the picture, all other sources credit Brownie Vernon as co-star, Arthur Rosson as director and Le Roy Granville as cameraman. Some sources credit only Dennison Clift as scenarist.
