When silver is found in Virginia City, Lawyer John Storm (Tom Keene) leads a group from Indiana west.
He soon has to defend them all in court against a company that is after their claims.
Fighting a crooked Judge, he gets a mis-trial by telling how much each of the jurors was bribed.
Then he gets the Governor to appoint a new Judge.
But just as the retrial opens, the Judge (William Worthington) learns his daughter (Gwynne Shipman) has been kidnaped.
