Bob rides into a border town, unaware of the dangers lurking within its dusty streets. His path soon crosses with Lambert and his ruthless gang, sparking a confrontation that puts Bob's life on the line. However, before Lambert's henchmen can deliver their final blow, Herb, the local lawman, intervenes.

Herb, recognizing Bob's perilous situation, concocts a clever plan to deceive Lambert and his gang. He arrests Bob, publicly branding him as the notorious outlaw El Diablo. Although Bob initially protests his innocence, he soon realizes that Herb's actions are meant to shield him from Lambert's wrath.
