Trucker Emerson Treacy is killed transporting dynamite. His sister, Louise Latimer, goes to work for Theodore von Eltz at the railroad. His partner, John Wayne, goes to work for truck owner Robert McWade.

McWade doesn't want in, but Wayne is a ready-for-aught sort of fellow.

Where I have issue with this Paul Malvern produced B feature is in the plotting. It alll seems a bit ramshackle, connecting the people through diners and happenstance.
