Synopsis

Little Buck Parker leaves his sister Mary alone at their ranch to fend off the "Pedro" gang while he gets help from the sheriff. Mary is unable to hold them off, and Pedro Mario, Miguel, Jose and Juan break into the house and begin to search for a map. Mary is rescued from her predicament by Tom Farley, a passing stranger, who has the situation under control by the time Buck returns with Sheriff Blake. Blake arrests the gang and deputizes Tom. Although Blake is aware that the Pedro gang is working with Jack Ellis, who is after a map to a hidden gold mine that Buck's father drew just before he died, Blake is unable to prove any charges against the gang, and they are released. Tom spends a great deal of time at the Parker ranch, in an effort both to protect Mary and get to know her. When Ellis and Pedro engage rancher Fletcher in a game of poker during which he loses $15,000 and stands to lose his ranch, Tom intervenes and warns Fletcher that his opponents have been cheating. Fletcher is outraged, but is shot by Ellis. Ellis breaks jail and, after looting Mary's house once again to find the map, kidnaps Mary and intends to take her with him across the border. Ellis and Pedro separate, and while Buck captures Pedro, Tom captures Ellis, whom he is forced to kill. Pedro and the rest of the gang are arrested by the sheriff. With peace restored, Mary agrees with Tom that Buck would make a great brother-in-law.
