U.S. Marshall John Carruthers (John Wayne) pursues a bandit who's stolen a $4,000 payroll form the citizens of Yucca City. The bandit, Danti (Yahima Conut), is employed by the unscrupulous Malgrove (Edward Peil Sr.), who has even bigger plans for the town. If he can starve out of the people, he'll buy their land on the cheap - and the gold mine hidden beneath it. Wayne was just 27 when he starred in this western for Monogram Pictures.
