Plot

In the Old West town of Sundown, a banker named Cameron is suspected of a robbery because he was the only person who knew the vault lock's combination. When a corrupt land owner, Ross Daggett, tries to exact vigilante justice, rancher Clint Bradford goes to the aid of June Cameron, the banker's daughter, and hides her father. Daggett and his men find Cameron and try to force him into writing a false suicide note admitting the robbery before they kill him. They are interrupted by Clint and a deputy sheriff, who is shot and killed by Daggett's henchmen. The sheriff suspects not only Cameron of the robbery and the deputy's murder, but also believes Clint and June are covering for him. Daggett calls a meeting of the bank's depositors, where a bank examiner closes the bank for sixty days after which Daggett, as receiver, will liquidate the bank's assets unless Cameron is brought to justice sooner. Clint investigates Tex and Dusty (Daggett's henchmen), and suspects Daggett was behind the bank's robbery. At Cameron's trial, Clint tricks Daggett into revealing the vault's combination, thus implicating Daggett and his gang. Clint proposes marriage to June by telling her to change the name on his bank accounts to "Mr. and Mrs. Bradford." They kiss implying June's acceptance of the proposal.
