On Your Guard

After getting paroled from prison, The Frisco Kid heads for a small Northwestern logging town, acting on a tip about a bank that would be a cinch to knock over. When he arrives and meets beautiful young Sissy Shannon, he has a change of heart and decides to go straight. A gang of ex-cons shows up to take a crack at the bank that The Kid once targeted. When the bank president is killed, the Frisco Kid is fingered as the culprit, and he has to run for his life from a frenzied lynch mob.
