Synopsis: Jeff Travis (Randolph Scott) had been a spy for the notorious Quantrill's Raiders who torched and looted mercilessly for the "Confederate cause" during the Civil War. With the Union victory, he fears he's a wanted man and head out West, closely followed by his long-time flame Jose Sullivan (Claire Trevor). He decides to settle in Prescott Arizona, where he takes a job driving for the Conroy Stage Company. Soon enough, he learns that the legitimate government has fled the former state capital and the town is now in the hands of outlaw gangs. The most powerful of these mobs is headed by a ruthless Confederate loyalist who had also ridden with Quantrill.
