When hooligans start shooting up mesa city, school marm virginia king (dale) has had enough and takes the wagon to yuma. But when the stage gets held up, retired marshal cliff mason (o'brien) comes to her rescue. But the sheriff and the judge are just as crooked, and no-one can stop the thugs. So back in town, it's going to be a showdown between mason and the sheriff. Leon ames always played the underhanded, smarmy cowboy or businessman. It's well done, and a typical western. But there's something about it that makes it a little more fun.. maybe it's the dedication mason has to his job. He keeps going, against a mostly crooked town.
