Synopsis:
Honest ranch bronc rider Tex Larkin is falsely accused of rustling by fat foreman Len Bassett, who fires him. Tex pastes Len one with an uppercut. The Kiyotee Kids (Ted Lucas, Sandy Rivers, and Billy Haines) ride out to keep an eye on Len, who has it in for Tex. Len incites his boss, honest rancher Ollie Kerr, against Tex. Spotting the Kiyotees in their masks, they head to Tex's new home and burn it down. The Kiyotees stay Tex's wrath. "To be continued."
