When Chip Douglas father is murdered by rustlers, Chip is appointed Sheriff to combat the lawlessness. The culprits are Henaberry and Tascosa who now start a range war by burning out the ranchers. But when Chip goes after them he gets caught by Tascosa.
Young cowhand John Douglas Jr., known as "Chip", has a wild reputation, acquired largely because he is one of the Circle Bar cowpokes, a rough bunch prone to be wild and wooley, especially since there are a few hardened killers in the mix. This suits Circle Bar owner, and claimant of most of the rest of Bitter Creek Valley by right of conquest, Slade Henaberry just fine. His gang, headed by Tascosa, Mason and Kirby, help rustle cattle and add land by killing off the nesters. Other hands, such as Chip and his pals, Dave Massey and "Bandy" Malarkey,are unaware of the outlaw activities. When General Lew Wallace takes control of the Territory of New Mexico, he tries to get Federal aid in subduing the lawless outrages, and saving the small cattlemen and nesters. He is denied, so he seeks a sheriff to replace the weak Sheriff Spence. "Cattle Kate" Turner, who runs the saloon and hotel, expects her 18-year-old daughter, Louise, to visit her from an Eastern boarding school. She gets Chip to help her make things seem more respectable for the young girl. Chip meets Linda, thinks she is a little bit sassy and gives her a spanking. Meanwhile, Chips father, John Douglas Sr., a crusty old pioneer rancher, is having trouble with Henaberry, and is shot trying to keep his cattle from being driven off. This turns Chip to the side of the law and, on "Cattle Kates" recommendation he is appointed sheriff by Wallace. He wins a few rounds against Tascosa and henchies, but is captured. Dave and "Bandy", who have stayed with the Circle Bar in order to learn more about Henaberrys operation, rescue him and they are deputized, and the three form a posse with the nesters and ride for San Luis Pass
