Running from an angry town, Duane Braddock takes a job as a cowhand at the Bar T Ranch hoping to settle down. But two things stand in the way: the son of a neighboring rancher who wants him dead and a ruthless Army officer who wants his fiancée. Duane could have handled these two men if they hadn't found out why he'd left Titusville. And if he hadn't fallen in love with another woman, things would have worked out okay. But now Braddock's reputation as the quick-killing, hard-loving kid is on the line - - just one wrong move and he's dead.
