Oklahoma, 1889. Jed Cooper viene ingiustamente condannato all'impiccagione per aver comprato inconsapevolmente del bestiame rubato. Salvato in extremis dal giudice Fenton, assume la carica di sceriffo rivelandosi un ottimo tutore della legge. Ma quando i suoi precedenti aguzzini gli tendono nuovamente un agguato, non gli resterà altro da fare che vendicarsi.
