Ed Archer, serving a prison sentence on a framed-up charge of murder, escapes from the stagecoach carrying him to a new prison. Texas Ranger "Rocky" Lane has been assigned to bring him in, recaptures him and is proceeding to do so, but they are ambushed by a gang of outlaws that don't want Archer to be able to prove his innocence. From that point on, Lane sets out to prove that the man Archer was sent to prison for killing is not dead at all.
