Feature film western based loosely on the plot of Othello. Jubal Troop is found injured by rancher Shep Horgan and given a job as a cow-hand. Jubal soon finds himself admired by Mae, Shep’s wife. Mae has jilted her former lover, Pinkie, and Pinky is jealous of Jubal and insinuates to Shep that Mae and Jubal are lovers. One night, goaded by Pinky, Shep follows Jubal who is forced to kill him. Pinky tries to rape Mae and beats her to death but not before she has told the truth to the avenging posse.
