Law of the Badlands

In 1890, Captain McVey of the Texas Rangers is dispatched by the United States Secret Service in Washington, D.C. to assist in breaking up a counterfeiting ring in the Texas Badlands. McVey orders two of his Rangers, Dave and sidekick, Chito Rafferty, to infiltrate the ring posing as criminals. Chito bids farewell to his girlfriend, Velvet. En route, they steal gold from a gang that held up a stagecoach. Arriving in Badland, Texas, Dave and Chito enter Cash Carlton's bar and stop a man named Madigan from robbing Carlton. Durkin and Benson, two of the gang from the stagecoach robbery, enter the bar to wrest the gold from Dave and Chito. Carlton intervenes and offers Dave and Chito an opportunity to work for him in his counterfeiting ring. Carlton's engraver, Simms, who also owns a feed store, is suspicious of Dave and Chito who are strangers. Carlton pays Dave and Chito for their stolen gold in counterfeit money.
