In south Texas a Wells Fargo stagecoach and six horses are missing although the driver and guard were released. Jim Hardie has been sent to find them. He finds himself in San Tomas which is miles from any Wells Fargo route but the coach is there sitting in a back alley. While Jim inspects it, a rotund gentleman introduces himself as Mayor Bodie Seaton after walking over from a group of men Jim recognizes as several outlaws - some he jailed himself. When asked about the coach, he suggests Jim talk to the sheriff in the saloon. There Bodie puts on a badge introducing himself now as the sheriff - a man of many talents. Jim's attempt to ask again about the coach is interrupted by a beautiful blond entering who Bodie introduces as his fiancee. Bodie likes Jim but the outlaws have other ideas for Jim.
