Ann Jennings, niece of the rancher, sends for U. S. Marshals Nevada Jack McKenzie and Sandy Hopkins, who organize the ranchers who take over the dead man's property and blast the dam releasing needed water to all the ranchers.

I like this series, Johnny and Raymond work well together and Raymond makes me smile with his style, but this entry is just routine and nothing real special.

When three pinto-riding Wells Fargo messengers are killed, Ranger Johnny (Johnny Mack Brown)is sent, incognito, to Booneville to investigate. He is welcomed by Sheriff Ed Lowery, Wells Fargo agent Ben Williams, the latter's daughter Janet and his son Terry, who supplies horses for the Wells Fargo riders.

Johnny tangles with Chet Murdock, a killer, in a saloon fight and also notices that Mae Star, the hotel proprietress, and Terry are outwardly sweethearts. Mae is actually using Terry to get information on the gold shipments, which are then hi-jacked by Murdock and his gang.

Johnny, wishing to rest his own horse, borrows a pinto from Terry's corral and, while out riding the express trail, is ambushed by henchman Gus but Johnny shoots Gus instead. The dying outlaw tells Johnny he attacked him because he was riding a pinto of the type used by the express riders when they were carrying gold.

Mae and Murdock, realizing the game is up, then decide to rob the Wells Fargo office and flee town. But Terry's father get shot in the foray ...

Poor Terry, played by Tommy Farrell, gets on the wrong side of the law, thanks to his libido - the hotel owner, Mae Star, sure knows how to use her charms, which leads to tragic results in this thoroughly engaging b-western that builds up to an eyecatching and dramatic finale. It's a very strong story executed well - actions certainly have consequences.
