Russ Wikeley settles in the boom town of Del Norte, South Dakota, hoping to erase the memory of a sordid past, and after foiling a bank robbery he is persuaded to stand for sheriff in the forthcoming elections. However, a scheming gang boss by the name of Diamond Jim Stoner wants his own man to become sheriff and when he discovers Russ' secret he is quick to spill the truth. Stoner's plan backfires but he is not prepared to give up that easily. Not to be thwarted in his plan to take over the town, Stoner hatches a new scheme to frame his adversary for robbery and murder. Will Stoner's dastardly plan succeed? And is Russ prepared to lie down and play dead? Both men are full of determination...but only one can be the victor in the final duel on the streets of Del Norte.
