Synopsis
During a period of lawlessness (ca1856) in San Francisco, District Attorney Milton Keith is prevented by politician Ben Sansome from exerting any control. The murder of U. S. Marshal Richardson, after which Sansome prevents conviction of the murderer, rouses public sentiment against Keith; and vigilantes are organized. Further complications result from the murder of the editor of the newspaper, for which Cal Bennett, the brother of Keith's sweetheart, Nan, is sentenced to be hanged. In desperation Nan appeals to Sansome and is lured away on his boat; Krafft, who has threatened to expose Sansome, uses oriental torture to find the real culprit; and Keith and Cal rescue Nan.
