Marshal Rocky Lane learns of a plan to obstruct the promotion of natural gas in his town.
I've watched a fair few westerns in my time, but I've never seen one before that involved natural gas! 'Joanne' (Cathy Downs) is determined to tap into the gas field on her land, but local grandee 'Chadwick' (Trevor Bardette) is having none of that and so his unscrupulous ranch manager 'Galloway' (Roy Barcroft) sets out to sabotage the pipeline. When that leads to a death, marshal 'Rocky Lane' (Allan Lane) starts to investigate and discovers that there is much more to this that originally met his eye; that there is a bit of framing going on; some back-story duplicity and of course, a clearly telegraphed message that guns and gas don't mix! It's all a bit basic to look at, but Lane brings some cheeky charisma to the screen, Eddy Waller livens things up, albeit somewhat predictably, with his amiable 'Nugget' and the sheer pace of this hour long adventure carries it along entertainingly enough in a sort of Dan-dare fashion. It is standard afternoon stuff that you'll never remember, but it is a perfectly watchable vehicle for Lane and 'Black Jack'.
A cattle-vs.-sheepman feud loses Connie Dickason her fiance, but gains her his ranch, which she determines to run alone in opposition to Frank Ivey, "boss" of the valley, whom her father Ben wanted her to marry. She hires recovering alcoholic Dave Nash as foreman and a crew of Ivey's enemies. Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates. Connie's boast that, as a woman, she doesn't need guns proves justified, but plenty of gunplay results.

Questions arise when Senator Stoddard attends the funeral of a local man named Tom Doniphon in a small Western town. Flashing back, we learn Doniphon saved Stoddard, then a lawyer, when he was roughed up by a crew of outlaws terrorizing the town, led by Liberty Valance. As the territory's safety hung in the balance, Doniphon and Stoddard, two of the only people standing up to him, proved to be very important, but different, foes to Valance.
