On the run from the law, he is befriended by Bob Jones (Lane Chandler), who recruits him into a gang of stagecoach thieves, and winds up in the little town of Sagebrushm calling himself "John Smith." While trying to persuade his new saddle pal to go straight, Brant discovers that by a strange twist of fate Jones is really Joseph Conlon, the killer he has been seeking, but Jones begins to suspect him. Playing a dangerous double game, Brant tips off the authorities about each new robbery before the final shootout with Ed Walsh (Yakima Canutt), his gang, and a sheriff's posse in an abandoned mine.
