To scare the squatters from the cattle country he claims as his own, rancher Ed Sampson orders the Martin farm house burned. Galt Martin is killed, and his eldest son, Joe, is pistol-whipped. Timmy Martin sees the killer, Cass Becker and points him out when he and Joe are in Painted Flats. Cass forces Joe to put on a gun but Ned East, a retired gunfighter, saves the inexperienced Joe by forcing Cass to draw on him, and Ned is the winner. Sampson sends for a fast gun, Clint Jones, to take care of the squatters. He also sends three of his henchmen to intercept a stagecoach bringing three mail-order brides; Kathie for Joe Martin, Mary for Ned East and Ella for Andy Heather. Clint is also on the stage and kills the henchmen whey they hold it up. Clint also has his eyes on Joe's mail-order bride.
