Plot
Twin brothers David and Tom Cook go their separate ways, David as a lawman, Tom as an outlaw. Tom is in league with corrupt sheriff Jim McDaniels and at odds with two members of his gang, Hardman and Marsden. The honest, upright David has few allies except for an elderly uncle, Hardtack.
Saloon singer Phyllis O'Conover is in love with Tom even though he has gone bad. Because of a case of mistaken identities, she marries his twin. Tom considers this unforgivable, even though Phyllis was sincerely in love with him, and kills her. David falls in love with Phyllis's jealous older sister Julie.
A showdown occurs between the twins. Tom has the drop on David and appears to be the victor until he is shot dead by their uncle.
