Synopsis:
Stagecoach robber Chuck Logan tries to steal a horse from Matt Savage. Matt lets the bandit leave with the horse in exchange for a torn shirt that belonged to the man who gunned down Joel Dudley, Savage's former boss. After Logan leaves, a Texas Ranger, Ben Moran, arrives in camp on the bandit's trail. Matt joins the pursuit.

They soon enter the town of Arapaho Wells where Logan has staged an ambush. Matt survives and captures Logan's partners. He then pursues Logan who is reunited with his old partner Draw Gordon, the man who shot Dudley. Gordon had been following Logan disguised as the Texas Ranger. Matt knew that Moran was a fake and has followed him. He prevents Gordon from murdering Logan, apprehends them both, then recovers the money Gordon stole from Dudley.
