A man (John Wayne), falsely accused of murder, is going to be hung by an angry mob. Sheriff: Buck Jones. Judy: Susan Fleming. John: Ed LeSaint. Dad: William Walling. Hank: Wallace MacDonald.
Wayne makes a very early appearance in this typical Jones oater as a ranch owner's son falsely accused in the murder of a cattle rustler. Just as the Duke is about to get his neck stretched by an angry mob, Jones rides in and reveals the killer's true identity.
