Summary: Reb Kittridge, played by Audie Murphy, is hired by villans to go after rancher Dan Saxon. But Reb decides to defend the rancher after learning interesting facts. Later, Reb wins Saxon's ranch on a cut of the cards. Unknowingly to Reb, Saxon has other reasons for losing the ranch. Shortly afterwards, Reb finds out there is no money to pay the cowhands. The only way to save the ranch and pay its employees is to drive the cattle to market. Unfortunately, at every turn, Telford, who wants the land, tries to thwart Reb's every attempt to save his ranch by keeping him from getting the cattle to town. Telford, with the help of Johnny Lake, does everything he can, including bushwacking, starting a wildfire, and stampeding the cattle, to prevent Reb from getting his cattle to town and the railhead. Will Reb figure out a way to overcome the treachery and save his ranch?
