Roving cowboy Aloysius Kare is riding through the town of Green River when he is stopped and ordered to pay a $10 toll, learning that the town is run by a man named Silas Crag who implemented the toll. Not wishing to pay the toll Kare shoots the guns out of the toll guards hands and speeds by. Entering the outskirts of Green River he witnesses a family being forced off their ranch by the sheriff's deputy who is in league with Crag. Kare then changes into his alter-ego the Apache Kid and attacks the sheriff and his men, sending them all fleeing. Talking to the family he just saved, Apache Kid learns that Crag has installed his own government comprising of criminals and that the sheriff is train robber Dynamite Jim Rance. Despite the warnings given, Apache Kid decides to ride into town and deal with Silas Crag and his bunch.
