Marshal Johnnie Taggart , posing as an outlaw named "Ace" Braddock,
comes to Bannack, Montana to restore law and order. But he is
recognized by Kitty , co-owner with Clay Curtwright, of the infamous Bull
Whip saloon. But "bad-girl" Kitty keeps her mouth shut. When Johnnie's
pal Andy reports a stage holdup, Curtwright's henchman, Ben Borden,
talks the sheriff and Judge Holden into suspecting Johnnie. Johnnie
reveals himself to Judge Holden as a government marshal, and the judge
voices his opinion that Curtwright is the leader of the road agents, but
voices it in the presence of his granddaughter, Louise Holden. The Judge
doesn't know that Louise is in love with Curtwright, and she tips him off
as to Johnnie's real identity. Curtwright frames Johnnie for a murder and
arranges for the crooked sheriff to promote a lynching and Andy and Kitty
help Johnnie escape jail. Johnnie rounds up vigilantes and heads for a
showdown at the Bull Whip saloon.
