Lou Travis, an ex-Yankee captain, and his black friend, Jackson, promise a dying man (Will Mallory) that they will ride to Texas and give the money Will had saved up to his wife and daughter. But Mrs. Mallory isn't fold of Yanks. One particular Yank is trying to force her to give him her ranch. Captain Speevy has a few crooked men under his command and only Lou and Jackson can stop him from getting their way. Of course, Lou has to survive not being hanged and shot by Mrs. Mallory first!
