The pursuing lawmen, including their former friend Marshal Matt Gordon (Jim Davis), chase the brothers, eventually killing Luke and apprehending Cheney. With his girlfriend Sherri (Allison Hayes) on his side, Cheney Holland escapes and seeks to avenge his younger brother. While Holland chases his previous gang of criminals led by Isaac Stansil (Gerald Milton), Holland is himself pursued by the stubborn Marshal Gordon.
