Trampas stumbles into the yard of the Crayton family with a head injury and collapses. After a doctor tends to him, they learn he has a concussion and amnesia as well as being very weak. The daughter, Sarah, takes an interest in Trampas and helps with his recovery but Trampas does not regain his memory. A stagecoach was robbed and everyone killed within a few miles of their place. When Bobby Crayton sees the pearl handled revolver Trampas is carrying, he believes Trampas is the leader of the outlaw gang. Back at Shiloh everyone is worried because Trampas is missing but his suitcase arrived. Bobby tells Deputy Jim Tyson about the pistol not knowing Tyson is the brother of the outlaw gang leader and part of them. The gang decides Tyson should blame the robberies on Trampas but Trampas escapes. Bobby and Sarah hide Trampas while Sarah sends telegrams for him to see if someone is missing him. Meanwhile, the outlaws now decide Trampas must die as the Sheriff searches for him.
