Tom (John Wayne), arrives in town and meets a powerful business owner who has assumed control over the the lives of the citizens. The shadowy man extorts hundreds of dollars from the residents on a regular basis. Tom has the background and training to know this is a rotten arrangement, especially in the free territories of the western frontier. Everyone is caught in the midst of gold fever, and is willing to let certain civil liberties slide with the promise of mineral riches. This isn't true for Tom. He is an idealistic de facto lawman in a place where law and order don't always have the final say.
