Plot
Hollywood Western star Jeffery Carson and his sidekick Shakespeare have just recently completed outdoor shooting on a film and decide to remain in the area to do some recreational hunting. In the meantime a crime syndicate led by Doc Kramer has come up with a new scheme to make money. With a range war going on, the criminals ramp up conflict between the two sides, including murder. They form a bogus cattleman association that is actually a protection racket where ranchers will a pay a penny a pound on their cattle.
Carson and Shakespeare save the life of ranch owner Joyce Butler when gangsters rip her fence down and threaten her. Keeping their identities secret, Carson and Shakespeare sign on as ranch hands for Joyce and her mother Violet Butler. When Violet spurns Kramer's protection offer, the gangsters bomb the Butler's herd from an airplane.
