There is trouble in Cimarron when Jing McQueen, the drunken son of wealthy cattleman Mike McQueen shoots a local preacher and burns down a livery stable. When the preacher recovers, he refuses to press charges and the young McQueen is released from jail. As anger levels rise and the people of Cimarron demand justice, Marshal Crown is faced with the task of having to control the lynch-fevered mob. At the same time an old friend of Crown's rides into town armed with a big reputation... and he's gunning for Jim's job.
