Jack Kells, leader of a band of outlaws known as "The Border Legion," finds the townspeople of Alder Creek, Idaho, irate and about to hang Jim Cleve for the killing of a miner, a crime of which one of Kells's own men is actually guilty; he saves the jobless cowboy, and out of gratitude Jim joins the gang.
