As described in a review in a film magazine, following the robbery of a suburban bank, the small town of Red Rock is terrorized by the appearance of a gang led by Bill Kilgore (Quinn). After failing to impress Carmen Harroway (Grey), who runs a small store, he will not allow the townspeople to trade with her. Bob Vincent (Flynn), a stranger to town, wins the friendship of Carmen and shows that he does not fear Bill. The populace is mystified when Bob becomes friendly with Bill and joins the Kilgore gang. Bill plans the robbery of the train and kidnapping of Carmen. Bob saves her, but she does not trust him, which makes his job more difficult. The townspeople finally arise and defeat the Kilgore gang, and Bob, who is knocked out and left on the railroad track, saves himself and the train. It is revealed that Bob is the president of the bank that was robbed, and now has secured the evidence to arrest Bill Kilgore and his gang. Carmen accepts his invitation to become a banker's wife.
