Rancher Timothy Wade (
Milburn Morante)is ambushed by a masked man riding a pinto horse. His young son, Buzzy Wade (
Robert 'Buzz' Henry) and the loyal ranch foreman, Dude Bates (
George Morrell), are mystified as to who anyone would kill Wade. But, Jim Dana (Dave O'Brien (I)'), a U.S. government undercover agent, has his suspicions that the reason may have been in order to acquire the ranch from Buzzy and his older sister, Ruth (
Dorothy Short). Dana thinks the ranch may have a large deposit of a mineral useful to a foreign country. His suspicions are confirmed when a couple of guys with heavy-accents show up inquiring about the property.
