Duncan Talbot has escaped from the pentitentiary to which he has been committed on a false charge brought by another rancher. Kurt Vedder. Returning to his hometown of Halfway, bent upon revenge, Duncan finds that during his incarceration Vedder has been busy framing somebody else —none other than Duncan’s friend Steve Sabin, whose pretty sister Molly is in danger of being dispossessed of the Sabin property while her brother is languishing in the Halfway goalhouse. With considerable ingenuity Duncan succeeds in freeing his friend, but they have to be careful to avoid pursuit by Miki Attick, who is trailing Duncan for the reward that has been put on his head A gun-battle with the villainous Vedder at his Frying Pan Ranch, the intervention of a friendly sheriff, and the unmasking of Verifier's criminal scheme round off the story.
