The Lawless Eighties

Brother Van (John Smith), a circuit rider, goes off to warn the U.S. Cavalry after he witnesses a gang of white men cruelly abusing a group of Sioux Indians. The crooks behind the attack, who are plotting a land grab, are hoping to wipe out both the Sioux and local settlers by inciting a war. The nasty gang intercepts and guns down Brother Van before he can get the word out, but gunfighter Linc Prescott (Buster Crabbe) chances upon the injured man and agrees to help him stop the war.
