Matt Garraway is a womanizing, manipulating double-dealer who has an illegal plan to deliver salmon after the commercial fishing season ends. His younger brother Bill, a hard-working man with a conscience, wants no part of the crooked scheme and threatens to leave. Matt fakes an injury and tricks Bill into staying around to help manage the crew. The sudden arrival of a beautiful woman sparks jealous rivalries that explode in bloodshed as the law closes in on the criminal enterprise.
