Synopsis
Clint, a Confederate Army hero whose parents were murdered by carpetbaggers after the Civil War, has joined Quantrell's Raiders, a group of guerrillas. After Quantrell is killed, Clint and his friend Willie Martin are captured by Union troops led by Captain Andrews, and they are sentenced to 20 years at hard labor. Andrews is subsequently appointed to lead the newly-formed Arizona Rangers in hunting down remnants of Quantrell's band who have attacked a peaceful Yaqui Indian village and abducted Martina, the chief's daughter. Andrews arranges for Clint and Willie to escape and promises them an unconditional pardon if they will help him round up the outlaws. Clint agrees to the scheme because he wants to take revenge on an old enemy, Montana, who now leads the raiders. Clint tracks Montana to the Indian village and kills him, but he decides to abandon his escape to Mexico when he learns that the gang has killed his younger brother and Willie. Clint returns, and with the help of Captain Andrews and a group of Indian braves he destroys the rest of the gang, rescuing Martina. The mission complete, he embarks on a career as an Arizona Ranger.
