This intricately plotted drama is more mystery than Western and stars Robert Livingston as Johnny Rapidan, a rancher who moves to Mexico and becomes ensnared in a sticky web of double-crosses, mistaken identities, mine robberies and murder. Along with his pal, Frog (Smiley Burnette), Johnny champions young Jim Terril (John James), who has falsely been accused of murder, and searches for Bill Smith (Bud Geary), the instigator of the deadly feuds.
