The setting is the American Wild West. The notorious outlaw leader Draw Egan played by Hart and his gang is chased by a posse of lawmen to his remote mountain cabin, where they are trapped. During a fierce shootout, Egan opens a trapdoor and they escape through a tunnel before the posse can overwhelm them.With a bounty on his head, Egan turns up in the dangerous frontier range town of Yellow Dog. Presenting himself by the assumed name William Blake, he enters the saloon. The seductive dancehall girl, Poppy played by Glaum, uses her alluring wiles to entice and entertain him. He looks amused when he is challenged to fight by a rowdy barfly, then punches and finishes the man off with the one powerful blow. The townspeople are impressed. Believing Blake to be a strong and lawabiding man, they want him to be their new marshal. The reformist mayor, Mat Buckton played by Lockney, hires him for the much avoided position to restore law and order and rid the town of the lawless gunmen who have nearly taken over. ........
