Dan Chantry, a struggling farmer, is threatened with foreclosure. Charles B. Morgan is an unsympathetic and greedy banker who ignores Chantry's honest efforts to clear his debt and turns a deaf ear to his pleas. The meeting between the men turns angry and Chantry storms out of the bank, vowing that should Morgan try to foreclose he will stop him. Then, Morgan is found murdered, and there are plenty of witnesses who heard Chantry's threats. And when the murder weapon is found in Chantry's saddlebag, his next stop is the gallows. On his way to town as a prisoner, storm conditions intervene and Chantry gets away. His plan is to gain time and return at some point to prove his innocence. But Al Blake, the marshal of Wolf Creek and a friend of Chantry is hot on his trail. Soon, the farmer is a prisoner again. Will Chantry be proved innocent or will he face the gallows?
