A Judge, who runs a facility to help criminals start over again, has just sentenced an outlaw to hang for his crimes. Now he is threatened by the outlaw's brother if he carries out his verdict.
Jim Hayward arrives to kill Judge Prince who he blames for his brother's death. The Judge sent the brother to prison where he was killed trying to escape. Editor Martin is after the Judge's ranch where there is oil. So he plans to have his henchman kill the Judge and have Hayward blamed.—Maurice VanAuken @ comcast.net
