Filmed in black and white and based upon a Zane Grey novel, the movie incorporates footage from an earlier and higher budgeted silent version, a common practice of the era.

The picture features: fast chases, gun-fights, unusual poker gambling and peppy light dialogue for the love interest.

Fillmore is a successful and influential rancher and president of the local bank, who thinks Rudd should abandon his carefree lifestyle and settle down.

In town, Rudd, who considers himself a good poker player, and Hooley are thrown out of the casino, after starting a fight with a card cheat.

Rudd and Hooley visit the casino where the owner, Bart Hammond, leader of the rustlers, is talking to his lead henchman, who is unsure they should keep trying to rustle Fillmore's cattle, as he has a lot of men to help him.

When Hammond calls for drinks, Fillmore discovers the bartender has been swapping decks and pulls his gun, demanding everyone get back their original stake.
