A timid insurance salesman Albert L. Tuttle (Jack Haley) visits eccentric millionaire Cyrus J. Rutherford, intent on selling him a $200,000 insurance deal. Instead he finds that Rutherford has recently died and his mansion is now full of relatives who are, according to the will, all bound to remain in the mansion until a glass-domed vault is constructed on the roof, to house the deceased millionaire who was an ardent follower of the stars. Tuttle is mistaken for a private detective sent to guard the body, and once the confusion is cleared up and the real detective fails to show, he is convinced by Rutherford's niece Carol Dunlap (Jean Parker) to remain and ensure that the body is not stolen. If the body should be buried any place other than the vault, the will states that recipients who would receive the largest request will receive the smallest, and vice versa. One of the recipients plans to reverse the will in their favor, hide the body and kill anyone who gets in their way. Unfortunately for mild-mannered Tuttle, he is directly in the way of the killer, and the rest of the conniving family.

1877. À Arlington, dans la vallée de Ruby Hills, tous les modestes propriétaires terriens ont été dépossédés de leurs biens par deux riches éleveurs, Chalk Reynolds et Walt Payne, qui continuent à se faire la guerre pour la mainmise totale sur la région de Ruby Hills. Leurs hommes de main respectifs n'hésitent pas à tuer pour asseoir la suprématie de leur chef. Leur guerre est chamboulée par l'arrivée de Ross Hayne, le fils d'un célèbre hors-la-loi, qui a acquis légalement une partie de la région comportant la seule source d'eau capable d'approvisionner la vallée et les terrains de Payne et Reynolds. Quand l'associé de Hayne est abattu par un sbire de Reynolds, Hayne se rend à Ruby Hills pour se venger. Il découvre qu'un troisième homme, un certain Alan Doran, compte s'approprier les lieux après la mort des deux clans qui, selon lui, vont s'entre-tuer. Tombé amoureux de Sherry, la sœur et complice de Doran, Hayne se retrouve impliqué dans une lutte à mort pour l'appropriation des terres et de l'eau de la vallée de Ruby Hills.
