Hard luck rancher Ted Ames (Buck Jones) has been jilted by his fianc , and has just lost his land and his horse to businessman Len Stoddard in a game of poker. As if things couldn't get any worse for the easygoing Ames, Stoddard's agent is killed while taking possession of his property, making Ted the prime suspect.

With nowhere to turn and a posse on his trail, his only hope is to uncover the true identities of The Black Aces and expose the men who framed him.
