When half-breed ex-con Keenan Deerfield hires on as a miner, the residents of a frontier town make it tough for him to earn an honest living, or even go on living at all. Warren Stevens plays mine owner Samuel Drigger, whose employee Gerald Ruthledge virtually enslaves Christine Beckford. But Keenan has friends -- like rancher Eugene Lawson and Territorial Marshal Luther Toll - as well as enemies, and together, they set out to make things right.
