In this film's version of the story, four of the Reno Brothers are corrupt robbers and killers while a fifth, Clint (Denver Pyle) is a respected Indiana farmer. A sister, Laura (Mala Powers), who has inherited the family home, serves as a housekeeper and cook to the brothers. Some of them served in the Civil War, which has given them a hardened attitude toward violence. One brother is killed when they go after a bank in a nearby town, leading them to draw the conclusion that someone that they know is an informant, as the men of the town appeared to have been waiting for them. They soon learn that it was Murphy, a local bartender, whom they then murder by knocking him out, and tying him up in his barn, which they then set ablaze. The bartender was in fact an agent employed by the Peterson (in real life, Pinkerton) Detective Agency sent to investigate and provide information about the Reno Brothers' crimes.

Une troupe de comédiens, un auteur et un producteur n'ont qu'une seule idée en tête : monter le spectacle grandiose de leurs rêves. Si le manque de budget se fait cruellement ressentir et donne lieu à des discordes, la pièce prend tout de même forme, au prix de nombreux efforts. Cependant, un problème subsiste : la place du rôle masculin est toujours vacante alors que la date de la première représentation arrive à grands pas.
