Fred MacMurray teams up again with his Double Indemnity co-star Barbara Stanwyck to dull results in this pokey western that was originally shown in 3-D. MacMurray is a villain currently doing time for "moonlighting," meaning that he is a legitimate cowhand by day and a low-down rustler at night. Slippery MacMurray manages to bust out of jail before the lynchers come. In their fury for vengeance, the mob hangs the wrong man. MacMurray is outraged and secretly pays for the hanged man's funeral. He then gets vengeance upon the unjust townsfolk. Later, he beings robbing banks, his girl friend Stanwyck is assigned to capture him. She succeeds and he willingly returns to jail, sure that she will await his release.
