Keats (J.B>Warner) is suspected of being the member of a gang of rustlers while he is trying to save his weakling brother from their influence and keep his brother from becoming an outlaw. Keats is captured and about to be hung when the local sheriff (Robert McKenzie) frees him during a ruse. Keats is recaptured by the vigilantes and placed in jail but escapes in time to foil the outlaw gang from robbing the local Wells Fargo office. The Sheriff makes Keats his Deputy and together they capture the gang. After being mortally wounded by the gang, Keats is exonerated by his dying brother who makes a deathbed confession clearing Keats of any wrongdoing.
