Boss of Hangtown Mesa

In the small town of Hangtown Mesa, a corrupt group of individuals, including Judge Ezra Barnes, lawyer Clint Ranier, and saloon-owner Flash Hollister, maintain control. When the Rocky Mountain Telegraph Company threatens to disrupt their grip, they send for the Utah Kid to work against the company. Along the way, the wanted Utah Kid encounters engineer Steve Collins and forces him to switch clothes. Steve arrives in Hangtown and is mistaken for the Kid, leading to his imprisonment. The Judge believes Steve is the Utah Kid and releases him to work at the company camp under foreman Bert Lawler, who is secretly working for the corrupt group. As Steve plays along, he discovers the Kid has already robbed the company safe and killed John Wilkins, Betty's uncle. With the help of traveling doctor/clothes salesman J. Wallington Dingle, Steve successfully keeps the work on track, much to Lawler's surprise. The gang, desperate to maintain their power, launches a surprise attack on the camp.
