The fifth of eight low-budget Westerns starring Lane Chandler, this Willis Kent production was apparently filmed at Hollywood's International Studios in 1932 but not released until 1934. Chandler plays Bob Rand, an investigator for the Cattleman's Association hired to capture El Lobo, a notorious rustler. Bob quickly learns that the wanted outlaw is actually Big Mike Carter (J.P. McGowan) and that he is holed up with his gang on a deserted ranch. Left to die in the desert by "Bull" LeMoyne (Richard Cramer), one of El Lobo's henchmen, Bob is rescued by lovely Rosita (Gertrude Messinger), whose father (Si Jenks) convinces the investigator to go undercover. In spite of his disguise, El Lobo captures Bob and Rosita, and it's not long before Bob discovers that El Lobo is his father. To save his son from the vicious gang members, El Lobo sacrifices his own life by dynamiting the ranch.
