Richard Dix plays a United States customs agent on the Mexican border in this western crime drama. He falls in love with the daughter (Helene Chadwick) of the post commander. He is assigned to undercover work at a Mexican cantina thought to be the headquarters of drug smugglers. After seeing his boss' daughter there, he is convinced she works for the smugglers and considers resigning from his position. The commander is captured and Dix discovers the girl was only helping her father with the investigation. Father, daughter, and the faithful patrol guard are trapped by the villains and must wait for the U.S. cavalry to save them from being tortured to death.
