SYNOPSIS
Marshal Tim Smith arrives in Rawhide with a mission to confront rustlers. However, when the outlaw gang mistakenly targets someone else for assassination, Tim seizes the opportunity. He places his identification on the deceased individual and assumes the guise of a notorious outlaw. Infiltrating the gang under this false identity, Tim gains their trust and is eventually assigned the role of impersonating the new Marshal. This risky strategy allows Tim to operate from within the gang's ranks, gathering intelligence and setting the stage for a showdown with the rustlers plaguing Rawhide.
