Synopsis
While on his way to investigate the rustling of government contract horses, U.S. Marshal Fred Martin rides to the aid of wrangler Fuzzy Jones and his boss Sanchez, the owner of the Lazy B ranch, when they are attacked by rustlers. Fred saves the herd, but in the ensuing battle, Sanchez is murdered. In gratitude, Pa Bailey, the manager of the Lazy B, hires Fred as a ranch hand. Working undercover, Fred soon becomes suspicious of Tex Walters, the foreman of the Lazy B, and trails him to the rustlers' hideout, where he overhears him plotting to steal the Lazy B horses, Donning the mask of the Two Gun Troubadour, Fred rides to warn the ranchers of the plot, and together they drive the rustlers away. Soon after, Sanchez's daughter Carmencita arrives to take over the ranch, and Fred overhears Tex plotting to scare her away. Again donning the mask of the Troubadour, Fred saves Carmencita from her attackers and then rides to the rustlers' hideout, where he hears Tex order the plundering of the Lazy B. Fred then enlists the help of the sheriff and they ride to round up the rustlers. In the chaos, Tex escapes and Fred follows him to the hideout, where Pa Bailey, the clandestine leader of the outlaws, bursts in and, after tying up Carmencita and Fred, sets a charge of gun powder to explode. Cutting free of their bonds just in time, Carmencita and Fred escape certain death and Fred lassoes Pa and Tex, bringing them to justice.
