Robert Taylor is a Wyoming rancher dealing with hired gunslingers trying to take his land. He's blamed for everything from fence-cutting to murder, though innocent. He goes to Cheyenne to set things right, but ends up face-to-face with President Chester A. Arthur. It turns out ole Chester is sympathetic to his cause, and even shows up unannounced for supper at the ranch. Taylor sets things right with his neighbors in a final shoot-out with heavy Robert Middleton. The interesting historical angle is hindered by melodramatic subplots and the usual one-dimensional performance by Taylor. Still, a rare opportunity to see Chester as a main character!
