The land-rush opening of the Cherokee Strip brings in its wake a scattering of outlaws and claim jumpers. Among these is crooked promoter Trent Parker (Frank Jacquet) and his henchmen, who plan a huge swindle by compiling falsified reports, putting the claims of honest settlers into the names of various henchmen. Clay Stevens (Allan Lane), a government agent posing as a drifting cowhand, advises the settlers to organize their resistance. Ben Jode (Roy Barcroft), the gang leader, runs for sheriff so he can gain full control of the town.
