 Quirt Crenshaw (Dick Curtis) knows his wildcat freighting outfit can take business from the P-BL freight lines by beating them to Eagle Pass. Tom Baxter (Johnny Mack Brown) who runs the P-BL for George Randolph (Herbert Rawlinson) and his daughter Claire (Nell O Day), and his helper Muleshoe (Fuzzy Knight) sight Crenshaw s wagons, and Tom wins the race to Eagle Pass. Town banker Adam Draper (Robert Strange), who is secretly backing the Crenshaw outfit, is anxious to discredit the Randolph line, since he knows the telegraph company is about to reward a lucrative hauling contract, and Randolph is the only other competitor. Draper hires Roy Jessup (Glenn Strange) and his gunslingers to hijack a P-BL shipment of gold bullion. Tom, on a visit to see his girlfriend Elsie (Kathryn Adams), Draper s secretary, learns of the latter s scheme.
