U. S. Marshals Hoot Gibson and Ken Maynard are given a commission by Governor Brighton to clean up the murderous gang that has killed two marshals and has been plaguing Willow Springs. Willow Springs rancher Jim Wade becomes furious when he learns that his own brother Duke's gang of ruffians has purposely stampeded his herd of cattle because Jim refused to use Duke's range, for which he would have had to pay. Jim confronts Duke and shoots one of Duke's men in self-defense. Duke, who controls the town, orders his gang to bring his brother in dead or alive, but Jim hides at his friend Mary's ranch, and Duke's men are unable to get to him because Ken and Hoot come to his aid. Ken and Hoot reveal their commission to Jim and advise him to stay hidden while they investigate. Duke's men try to capture the marshals, but Ken and Hoot outwit the gang and lock them in the deserted town jail. The men are released soon thereafter by corrupt Judge Foster. With the help of the governor, Hoot recruits some of the country's most notorious gunslingers, including Lefty, Cactus Joe, Weasel and Eagle Eye, to act as back-up. Ken then confronts Duke in the saloon and tells him that he plans to clean up the town. Duke picks a fistfight with Ken, and after beating Duke, Ken warns his thugs to clear out of town. However, Weasel, who has no intention of returning to the penitentiary, double-crosses the marshals and tells Duke of their activities.

When the gunslingers learn that Weasel has betrayed them, they kill him, and then engage in a gun battle with Duke's gang, after Duke refuses to surrender peacefully to Ken. Ken, Hoot and their group rid the town of the outlaws, but pay a high price because Eagle Eye is killed during the gunfight.
