Plot

edit

Businessman Ace Brockway and his henchmen are secretly arming hostile Indians with rifles to attack wagon trains. Brockway has such contempt for the law and the people that he employs the buffoon restaurant owner Smiley Burnette as town marshal and Jim Traynor to run the newspaper, printing only what Brockway tells him to. The Durango Kid becomes Burnette's deputy and brings law and order to the West.
