SYNOPSIS
A sheriff's son gets mixed up with a gang of outlaws. During a stagecoach robbery, one of the sheriff's deputies is killed and his son is captured and accused of the killing. After a quick trial, the son is sentenced to be hanged the next day. The sheriff, not believing his son is the actual killer, must find the real killer before sunrise the next morning.

Clay Hartley Jr., the son of the town's sheriff, gets trapped in gambling debts by his future father-in-law, Collins. Collins coerces Junior to act as a lookout for a stagecoach robbery where a deputy sheriff is killed; the only one caught is Clay Junior. Clay Senior loses his badge and takes the opportunity to deal out harsh justice.
