Frank James, Jesse's brother, has "found religion" and retired from the outlaw business. However, the old gang wants to get back together. When he refuses to join, they exploit the fact that one of them looks exactly like Frank. This allows them to rob and kill incognito, while the posse chases the real Frank James. Well, Frank won't take this laying down and sets out to clear his name. The dual role is an overused plot device in B westerns. The rest of the film is strictly routine, particularly a middle that drags to a crawl. However, Wally Vernon does stand out in a supporting role as a drunk deputy.
