Plot

A long simmering feud between the Carson and Sterling families erupts in western frontier town of Paradise Valley. Sunset Carson (played by the real-life Sunset Carson) hears that his father has been murdered by the Sterling family, and heads for his home town in Arizona after having lived out of state for years. Along the journey home he is attacked by an unidentified group of assailants. Carson survives the ambush, and reaches his family home. He is elated to learn that his father, Andy Carson (Eddy Waller), was wounded but survived the attack. The senior Carson tells his son that the feud is still a real problem because he, Andy, has been falsely accused of killing Sterling clan member, Linc Sterling. In an effort to end the years-long feud, Carson challenges Martin Sterling (Michael Sloane) to a showdown. Just prior to the gunfight, Martin is ambushed by his own sister, Melinda (Peggy Stewart), so that she can save Martin and take his place in the shoot-out. We learn that much of the ongoing feud is being fueled by a 3rd group of actors led by Pop Jordan (Wade Crosby), and both the Sterlings and the Carsons are being played. Melinda is wounded in the shoot-out, but both families come together to defeat the Jordan gang. In the end Sunset Carson and Melinda Sterling end up in each other's arms.
