Synopsis
Cattle driver Jake Ellis arrives in a bawdy little cow town and finds his archenemy, Frank Hall, waiting for him. In the saloon, Jake loses his money and his horse to Isabel, a voluptuous gambler who deals from a stacked deck. The smell of food cooking over a campfire attracts impoverished Jake, and he soon finds the campsite and seduces the cook, young Kathy Dupray. After the Duprays give Jake a beating for romancing Kathy, they tell him of Frank Hall's plot to cheat them in a cattle deal. Thwarted, Hall vows to kill the entire Dupray clan. In the shootout, Kathy narrowly escapes being raped by Hall's gang, and her sister Ellen is killed. Jake is framed for her murder and sentenced to hang, but he escapes death to win both his girl and his revenge.
