Plot

An incident with bandits leaves a stagecoach stranded in the desert. The passengers are forced to walk to Halfway House, a stagecoach station and inn, to spend the night. "Nugget" Clark (Eddy Waller) grows suspicious of the inn's creepy night clerk and flees in a wagon. He is stopped along the way by Marshal Rocky Lane (Allan Lane) who discovers one of the stagecoach passengers murdered in the back of Nugget's wagon. The two return to Halfway House but can find no evidence of the former night's events, and no one at the inn remembers seeing Nugget before. The third stagecoach passenger is also nowhere to be found. Convinced something sinister is going on, Rocky continues to investigate the situation, discovering that the missing passenger has been kidnapped for a sum of money he was carrying. Rocky recruits the kidnapped man's daughter (Mildred Coles) to help him reveal who at Halfway House is behind the scheme. With help from the daughter and Nugget, Rocky uncovers the kidnappers and chases them down to their hideout where he rescues the missing passenger and brings the bad guys to justice.
