Escaping the law, Dave is now on to Carter's game and sets out to get him. —Maurice VanAuken <mvanauken@a1access.net> Riding to their cattle ranch, Dave Taylor (Tim Holt) and his partner Chiro Rafferty (Richard Martin) rout a band of Indians led by Red Fox (Noah Beery, Jr.) who are attempting to rob Ellen Wheeler (Nan Leslie) and her uncle Inky (Lee "Lasses" White) , a roving printer, heading for Boulder, a frontier town, to start a newspaper. The Indians are starving as results of a crooked deal between a wagon-train operator Chip Carter and Morty Hutchins (Tom Keene), the Indian Agent.
