Hopalong Cassidy and his partner Lucky Jenkins are asked by a citizens committee to help bring order to an outlaw-infested town in California. Cassidy declines, but Lucky takes the job alone. Cassidy discovers the hideout of the Bruce Morgan gang and arrests a cook who knows Morgan's plans. With newfound authority as a U.S. Marshal, Cassidy and the cook, California Carlson, track Morgan's gang. They join forces with a wounded Lucky and seek refuge with a penniless rancher, Pico Serrano. Cassidy organizes a posse and engages Morgan's gang in a gunfight, resulting in Morgan's death and the capture of his henchmen.
