Joe Daniels, wanted by the law in Kansas territory on an old and wrongful charge, risks arrest there in order to avenge his brother's death by an unknown assailant. His investigation reveals, much to his surprise, that his brother, part-owner of a successful business, had turned renegade. Local attorney Carruthers and other members of the town council offer Joe the job of town sheriff but he, considering his own legal status, turns them down. Meanwhile, an escaped convict kills a U.S. Marshal, who is carrying a pardon for Joe. A posse is formed and that action leads Joe to the discovery of his brother's killer.
