Rowdy Cavalry officer John Payne is sent to Laramie to single-handedly clean up the town. Railroad workers are lounging on the job, preferring to drink and gamble in the profitable saloons owned by baddie Dan Duryea. Although Payne and Duryea are old friends, it doesn't stop them from a ruthless battle for control of the railroaders. Unfortunately their characters are little more than stereotypes, particularly Duryea who just doesn't convince. There are a few locomotives on display, but other than one rooftop fight towards the end, they are mostly in the background.
