Pursued by bloodthirsty bounty hunters and risking certain death, Carlin arrives in the town of Rum Rock, where he finds a populace gripped by fear. The evil town boss, Luke Starr (Crawford), not only set up Carlin in the first place, but murdered his brother, a respected newspaperman, for exposing his corrupt ways. While investigating the murder and the mounting conspiracy of silence, Carlin finds romance in the arms of the beautiful dancehall girl Kits O'Neal (Diana Lorys), for whom Crawford carries a torch. The result is a rousing frontier drama which explodes into a blazing shootout at sundown.

His impeccable image made him a great foil for famed screen heavy Broderick Crawford.
