PLOT:
Billy Carson (Crabbe) rescuing Linda Brown (Frances Gladwin) from the clutches of stagecoach outlaws Maynard and John Cason. It seems that they were sent out by boss Steve Kirby (I. Stanford Jolley) to kidnap her to force her father Jed (Ed Cassidy) to sell his express business.

With his henchmen having bungled the job, Kirby decides to send for gunman Matt Brawley (Bob Kortman) to bolster his gang. Brawley is in jail but escapes before Kirby's gang can spring him. He overpowers deputy Fuzzy Q. Jones (Al St. John) and places him in the cell. Kirby's gang arrives, knocks out the sheriff (Steve Clark), mistakes Fuzzy for Brawley and take him to their hideout. It remains for Fuzzy to continue the masquerade until Billy can learn the identity of the boss of the gang and move in to arrest them. Of course the real Brawley shows up....
