When Harry Gloster returns to camp and finds his mining partners murdered, he panics. Unknown in the town of Wickson, Gloster believes he'll be accused of killing his friends for their share of the gold, so he sets out for Mexico.

En route, he chances upon Joan Daniels and begins to fall in love with her. Suddenly, Gloster finds himself surrounded by a posse—he has lingered too long. Now, Harry Gloster must choose fast. Stay and risk hanging—or run and forget the girl!
