Cattle buyer Rex Allen (Rex Allen) rides into Taskerville and sees two men
toss Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), a water diviner hired by the local
ranchers, into a wagon. Rex chases the wagon to the barn of rancher Lem
Shaver (Alan Bridge), where he learns from Slim that Russ Tasker (James
Anderson), a wealthy rancher and owner of the only artesian-fed
reservoir in the valley, has charged such high prices for water that the
ranchers are bankrupt. Tasker's henchmen kill rancher Matt Becker
(Monte Montague) and have his son Johnny (Michael Hall) branded as an
outlaw. Rex learns that the Beckers had found a meager water supply and
Rex suspects that is what led to the killing and the charges against
Johnny. With the aid of Slim and Johnny's sweetheart, Sue (Mary Ellen
Kay), Rex finds that the Becker spring is fed from the same underground
lake that feeds Tasker's well-guarded reservoir. But Rex is jailed for
aiding Johnny.
