Arizona Raines confronts an armed revolt at Broken Creek, where hostile forces under a flag of truce attempt to ambush the sheriff's office. After a fierce gunfight in which human-like rodent creatures unexpectedly attack the rebels, Raines discovers that a gang led by a man called Sombrero has stolen $20,000 from Manson's safe. Pursuing the outlaws across the desert toward the Mexican border, Raines is shot and left for dead, but recovers and tracks the gang to the D'Artegas ranch, where he ultimately confronts the mysterious "Johnny Lash the Maverick" responsible for orchestrating the crimes.

Determined to expose the mastermind, the Whip discovers that the D'Artega children, sole survivors of a brutal murder, hold the key to his investigation, but Lard Marraway and his associate Rock have a deadly plan to silence them and finally unmask the frontier's most feared vigilante.

But when the old prospector reveals he's struck gold, the gang sees one last chance at fortune together, leading them to target Larry and make off with his mules into the desert. Marshal Bob Allen is determined to track them down, but the outlaws' own greed and mistrust may prove deadlier than the law ever could.
