Hoppy, Johnny Travers and California Carlson buy 50% of a ranch. The ranch is owned by siblings who haven’t been able to pay their extravagant water bill so the ranch is almost in foreclosure.
Hoppy and comrades quit the US Marshal Service. The local land baron (Victor Jory) owns the whole valley’s water rights. He also controls the cattleman’s association.
But instead of paying the water bill, California invests in oil drilling. Both sets of partners feel they will lose the ranch. In the end the oil drilling pays off in water and the ranch is saved.
