Bill James is just a child when his father, Jesse James, is assassinated by his cousin Bob Ford. Twenty years later, Bill James, who is the mirror image of his father, rides away from Missouri, to avoid the hatred caused by his father’s death. At Three Star ranch, owned by Dorothy, Bill is hired as a ranch hand. He enjoys the quiet farm work but not for long, because soon he becomes involved in the persecution that the farm and the girl suffer at the hands of Marshall, a bully stock breeder. The first clashes between Marshall and Bill do not lead to any solution, but Bill, indicted for the murder of a man, is forced to flee. Meanwhile he develops a suspicion that Marshall and his murderous uncle are the same person, and when his suspicions are confirmed he returns to the town and challenges and kills Bob Ford .
