The film opens with a mail robbery and then the criminal is pursued by Cassidy (William Boyd), California (Andy Clyde) and Johnny Travers (Jay Kirby).
They corner the outlaw called Dirk (Robert Mitchum) in a bar and try to give him to the Sheriff, but a man named Joe Brass (Douglas Fowley) shoots and kills him instead. Hoppy and his friends collect the bounty money and then go halves on a small rach owned by a young woman named Luck (Teddi Sherman) and her brother Lin (George Reeves).
It's soon discovered that Jed Hardin (Victor Jory) owns all of the water rights and is forcing the cattlemen to sell their cattle to him at 50 cents on the dollar.
Hoppy does some investigating but is framed for cattle rustling by Jeb. The climax involves a huge shootout involving all of Jeb's men and the cattlemen.
The cast is exceptional in this film and it is just an all round good movie. The action is non stop, California adds his usual doses of humor and some good old familiar faces make it a great watch.
