A cowboy is framed for his father's murder. His investigation leads him into the middle of a bitter feud between two families, and he winds up falling in love with the niece of the man who actually killed his father.
On Billy's 21st birthday his mother gives him his father's gun and sends him to shoot Luke Barstow whom she thinks killed her husband 20 years ago. But Billy is in love with Luke's daughter and doesn't take the gun. Her brother Hank, the real killer, hoping to get both ranches now shoots Luke and has Billy arrested.—Maurice VanAuken @comcast.net
