Plot

In 1850, a land rush is on as the U.S. government has opened lands for settlement in the Arapaho Indian nation. Phineas Hook establishes his claim to land for a new town by shooting and killing a man who stakes his claim first. Five years later, with the town well established and Hook as a corrupt stage line boss, Frank Wilson and his son, Frank Jr., stop on their way to California to sell some of their goods in order to further finance their trip. Frank Jr. has a talent for singing and Hook dubs him "The Singing Kid." Hook buys some of Wilson's goods but tells Wilson to return to Ohio for more goods to purchase. Hook's henchmen, dressed as Indians, ambush Wilson's wagon, kill him, burn the wagon and steal his money. Frank Jr. escapes.
