Synopsis

Après avoir abattu un officier de la Cavalerie par légitime défense pour une histoire de femme, le chasseur Bat Masterson se rend dans la ville de Dodge City où il retrouve son frère Ed, devenu marshall. Avec le soutien de sa fiancée Pauline et de son beau-père, le révérend Howard, Ed présente sa candidature pour le poste de shérif, face au corrompu Jim Regan. Bat décide alors de s'installer dans la ville. Il se lie vite d'amitié avec le docteur Sam Tremain puis s'éprend de la jolie Lily, une veuve qui peine à gérer le Saloon Lady Gay. Pour l'aider à remonter ses finances, Bat devient joueur professionnel, s'associe avec elle et investit une forte somme d'argent. Le succès du Saloon cause des problèmes de jalousie puis, un soir, Ed est tué par Dave Rudabaugh, cousin de l'officier que Bat a jadis abattu. Lassés par la violence perpétrée par les hommes de Regan, les notables de la ville décident de nommer Bat au poste de shérif afin de faire régner la loi.

Dr. Cal Meacham (Reason), a noted scientist and jet pilot, is sent an unusual substitute for electronic condensers that he ordered. Instead, he receives instructions and parts to build a complex communication device called an interocitor. Although neither Meacham nor his assistant Joe Wilson (Robert Nichols) have heard of such a device, they immediately begin construction. When they finish, a mysterious man named Exeter (Morrow) appears on the device's screen and tells Meacham he has passed the test. His ability to build the interocitor demonstrates that he is gifted enough to be part of Exeter's special research project.
