Sent to jail for a murder he did not commit, John Brant escapes and ends up out west where he joins up with an outlaw gang. Brant finds out that Jones, one of the outlaws he has become friends with, committed the murder that Brant was sent up for but has no knowledge that anyone was ever put in jail for his crime. Willing to forgive and forget, Brant doesn't realize that Jones has not only fallen for the same pretty shop girl he has but that Jones has also begun to suspect that Brant is not truly an outlaw.
