Blaze Nolan has been imprisoned for killing Ben Kelton in a quarrel over a dance-hall girl. Things look black till Kendal Marsh strolls up with a pack of influence and has blaze paroled, but in return asks that Blaze rustle a herd of cattle over the Lost Trail, which Blaze alone knows. From here on, the tang of gun smoke is never out of the air, and these canny cowboys are just as full of salty humor as they are of nerve. There's sharp interchange of both words and lead, and a plot that fairly gallops!
