Summoned by his friend Ranny Williams, Sim Baldwin, a wanderer, goes to the aid of Ruth Cameron, a rancher under pressure to sell out to Blake, who wants to control a dam on the ranch that is central to the town’s water supply. He arrives to find his friend ambushed; and incurring the enmity of Blake, Sim convinces Ruth he is her friend. When Blake begins rustling the cattle on the ranch, Sim lays a trap and captures several of the culprits and marches them, pantsless into town. Blake threatens him with a showdown unless he leaves town, but Sim engages in a furious gunfight with Blake’s gang, saves Ruth from the clutches of the villain, chases him from the town, and fights him to the death.
