- After his parole from prison, Jim Brandon sets out to prove his innocence with the help of his pal Utah.
- Jim Brandon returns from prison having been framed for robbery. At the time of the robbery his partner supposedly committed suicide. Jim's first break in proving his innocence comes when he finds the fatal bullet does not match the weapon that was used.—Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net>
- In the event that either Warners or Ed Earl Repp might see this film and think the plot bordered too closely to 1937's "Empty Holsters" (with Dick Foran), director/writer Harry Fraser opted to use the non de plume of James Oliver for the writer, thereby, years later, creating a non-existent James Oliver (II) for sources who aren't that well versed in the doings of B-western film history. This semi-lift has Jim Brandon, paroled from prison on a framed charge, back in town and being taunted by Dunc Rankin as being yellow. Before Jim can clean the floor with Dunc, Sheriff Matt Warner informs him that if he gets into a fight or carries a gun - a holster is okay if it is empty - he'll be sent back to jail for keeps. Jim knows that the Duncan brothers, Dunc and Bill, framed him on a fake robbery charge and also killed his partner Tim Donovan, officially listed as a suicide. Betty Morgan, whose guardian is Bill Rankin, really loves Jim and sticks up for him, even when Rankin-henchman Chuck Wilson throws him out of the saloon. Bill is trying to get Betty to marry his worthless brother Dunc. Jim's pal, Utah McGirk, has been working for Rankin as a cook in order to get enough money to pay the interest due on the note on Jim's ranch, which Rankin wants to grab. Jim and Utah dig a bullet out of the wall in the cabin where Donovan supposedly killed himself and now set out to prove that the Rankins were responsible. Jim is captured by the gang, and Bill tells Betty that if she doesn't marry his brother, she will never see Jim alive again.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
