Plot
Clint Stewart ( Audie Murphy) is a Confederate war hero who has gone out West to join a renegade band, Quantrill's Raiders, and ends up captured by the law.
Sent to prison with his friend Willie Martin ( Ben Cooper), for riding with Quantrill ( Fred Graham), the two go along with a jailbreak plan masterminded by former U.S. Army Captain Andrews ( Buster Crabbe), who now heads the Arizona Rangers, to grant the men a full pardon if they help the Rangers stop a band of raiders who once rode with Quantrill.
