The notorious outlaw Frank James remains at large, driven by a burning desire for vengeance against the Ford brothers for their brutal slaying of his brother Jesse.

When he learns of Jesse's murder by the Ford brothers, he hopes the law will take care of them.

They meet Eleanor Stone, a reporter, who becomes intrigued by their story and eventually learns Frank's true identity.
