The Rangers are on stake out hoping to stop a bank robbery. They kill the robbers except for Wayne Emerson who they capture resulting in a big reward for the Rangers. Reese's enlistment in the Rangers is up the next day. He spends all of what is left after paying his debts on a parcel of Texas land from Conrad and Sally Fletcher who are really con artists. When they inspect the land, the Rangers find it is covered with water containing deadly alkali. Erik suspecting Reese might have been fleeced has traveled with the Fletchers posing as a Duke wanting to buy land. After hearing what happened to Reese, the other Rangers lock Reese with Emerson to allow Erik time to get Reese's money back and catch the Fletchers breaking the law - but not without several miscues.
