The Texas Rangers are hot on the trail of the Travis gang that have killed two Rangers. Ranger Sgt. Tom Milton apprehends two members of the gang, then turning them over to his Ranger companion, chases after the third, young Jimmy. Instead of shooting Jimmy, Tom talks him into going on the straight and narrow by his helping Tom infiltrate the Travis gang who are smuggling explosives.
