[1][2] A previous adaptation of the story, also titled Robbers' Roost, was released by Fox in 1932 with George O'Brien and Maureen O'Sullivan.

Suspecting them of being rustlers, cattle rancher Bull Herrick hires two feuding men, Hays and Heesman, as ranch hands to keep a close eye on both.

The rancher's sister Helen arrives and wants Bull to return East with her, where doctors can treat the condition that has left him in a wheelchair.

When Helen goes into town to find a buyer for the cattle, she spots a wanted poster at the train station showing Tex's true identity to be Jim Wall, a fugitive from a murder charge.
