Synopsis
Clint is the youngest of four brothers and the only one not in the Confederate
Army. The three brothers, Vance, Brett and Ray, rob a Federal payroll at the
closing days of the Civil War, and then head home.
The family reunion is marred, however, when Vance learns his sweetheart Cathy
married Clint when everyone thought he was killed in the war. Deciding to leave
home again, Vance plans to say farewell to Cathy at a family picnic while Clint
entertains with a few songs.
U.S. Army Major Kincaid arrives to arrest Vance and his brothers, who are taken
to trial. Clint plots with other members of Vance's gang to free them. But Vance
decides to return the money and hope for a light sentence. The gang makes a
raid, however, and frees the brothers.
At the farmhouse, Vance refuses to be a fugitive and still plans to return the
money. When the farm is surrounded by a posse, Cathy stuffs the money in her
dress and escapes with Vance.
Mike Gavin tells Clint that Cathy has run off with his brother and the money.
Clint pursues them and wounds Vance. But when Gavin plans to finish Vance off,
Clint defends him and is mortally wounded himself. As Clint dies, he whispers
that everything is all right now for everyone. Vance can return the money and
have the girl.
