Bounty hunter Morg Hickman takes the inexperienced young lawman Ben Owens under his wing and teaches him to maintain control of the town he is sworn to protect. Owens is under pressure from his girl to give up the job, which gets tough when a lynch mob tries to hang the murderers of the well-like town doctor and a local thug, Bogardus, challenges his authority. Hickman, a former sheriff and reluctant mentor, also takes a part-Indian youngster under his protection, whose mother, Nona, takes a romantic interest in Hickman.
