Spoilers ahead
Jefferson Cody, Randolph Scott, whose wife was captured by the Comanches, frees another man’s wife, Mrs. Lowe, and takes her home to Lordsburg. Three outlaws, led by the charming but malevolent Ben Lane Claude Akins, reveal that Mrs. Lowe’s husband has offered a $5,000 reward, making Mrs. Lowe suspicious of Cody’s motives in coming to her rescue.
Lane is known to Cody, who helped court-martial him from the army for killing “tame” Indians. The Comanche are on the warpath due to recent scalpings. They kill Frank Skip Homeier, one of Lane’s men, and make repeated attempts to kill the rest of the party. Lane attaches himself to Cody, intending to make it look like the Comanches/Mohawks killed Cody and to take the reward for himself.
