Marshall Ben Flood, a quiet and respected lawman in post-Civil War Texas, is in pursuit of a band of desperadoes who have robbed a local bank and kidnapped feisty ranchwoman Lee Morgan. The leader, Zeb Stone, holds an old grudge against the marshall, and leads his pursuer to Mexico hoping for revenge. He knows Ben has grown fond of Lee, and that he'll follow the bloodthirsty gang anywhere to save her. But Lee bristles at the thought of being used as bait - and she's determined to thwart Zeb's plan.
