Before changing his name to Richard Powers, cowboy hero Tom Keene spent the waning days of his stardom at Monogram, churning out westerns like Riding the Sunset Trail. When ingenue Betty Dawson (Betty Miles) and her kid sister Sugar (Sugar Dawn) are cheated out of their cattle ranch, Tom Sterling (Keene) and his sidekick Mendoza (Frank Yaconelli) vow to get the ranch back for the girls. This requires Sterling to cross six-guns with Pecos Dean (Gene Alcase), a former friend who'd turned bad.

Il tente de l'éliminer en chargeant ses deux tueurs, Bronco West et Smith Kill, de l'assassiner, mais Dawson, blessé en réchappe. Il est recueillit pat Tom Sterling et Lopez mendoza, tandis que Linch, le croyant mort, vient prendre possession du ranch et expulse ses deux filles, Betty et Sugar.
