A trio of outlaws have a successful scheme robbing stagecoaches, with one of them posing as the driver. They are eventually surrounded one night but manage to escape, only to get separated. The two remaining friends plan to carry on robbing stagecoaches, but it goes awry when a Texas Ranger rides shotgun. Impressed, they join the Rangers themselves, but quickly realize the inside information will allow them to continue to as outlaws. They find their old friend rustling cattle across a river and let him in on the deal. However, their conscience eventually gets the best of the two Rangers, turning them against each other. Enjoyable western with Fred MacMurray, Lloyd Nolan and Jack Oakie well cast as the three outlaws. Surprisingly violent for 1936.
