As in the Zane Grey novel, a cowboy tries to solve his friend’s murder by a mysterious assailant, who might be in league with the crooked sheriff.

John Trimble has embezzled and obtains another identity by having a mutilated body buried in his place. He is later arrested for murdering himself. During the trial his mother asks him to keep his identity secret since his wife is now married to the Governor and expecting a child.
