When Tom Chantry comes west to buy cattle, he quickly runs into trouble. During a drunken scuffle in a bar, Dutch Akin challenges Chantry to a gunfight. Leaving town rather than face Akin, Chantry is quickly branded a coward. He hires French Williams, a shrewd and ruthless cattleman, who will take the herd unless Chantry can finish the drive.
