Plot

Fred Porter is U.S. Secret Service agent on the trail of a gang of outlaws.

Entering a cattle community as a stranger, Porter rescues a young rancher from an ambush. It seems that a jealous woman, rejected by the ranger who has been wooing another in town, has sent her henchmen out to kill him.
