Sheriff Cyrus Ocklund wakes up one morning to find that his Deputy has been strangled to death. He hires a Ute Indian to help him find the killer and do other duties in the small, quiet town of High Bench, Utah Territory. A gang of outlaws blows up the bank and takes off with the money. The Sheriff rounds up a posse and follows the trail of the outlaws. A woman posse member is taken captive, further aggravating the situation, and the small posse is not large enough to take on the thieves. An exciting story of cat and mouse to the final shootout along the Green River.
