Synopsis
Bob Rand, an investigator for the Cattlemen's Association, is sent to purge a cattle rustler known only as "El Lobo" from Lawless Valley. Bob first captures outlaw "Bull" LeMoyne, who tells him that El Lobo is actually Big Mike Carter, who hides out with his gang at a deserted ranch in the valley. Bob releases Bull, who is a member of El Lobo's gang and who later ambushes Bob and leaves him to die in the desert. Bob's horse, Raven, rescues him but Raven later throws Bob while they are evading bandits and Bob is knocked unconscious. He is revived by aged rustler Zeb Huff and his daughter Rosita, who convince him to work undercover. Bull identifies Bob, however, who has fallen in love with Rosita and attempts to escape with her in order to save her from Bull. They are captured by El Lobo's gang, and to save his life, Bob proposes that he fight Bull for his release. El Lobo agrees and when Bob wins the fight, he and Rosita are released. Zeb comes to their aid with horses and water, and as they get under way, Bull tells El Lobo that Bob is his son. Bull pursues Bob seeking vengeance, but El Lobo, who realizes Bob really is his son, follows. El Lobo fights against his own gang in order to save Bob, and then, after suffering a gunshot wound, ignites dynamite that he had previously planted in case the gang was ever hunted by a posse. The explosion kills El Lobo and the gang, but Bob, Rosita and Zeb ride safely away. Only then does Bob learn from Zeb his true heritage and realize his father's sacrifice.
