When a wagon train is attacked by outlaws led by Buff Gordon, the only two survivors are two young brothers, Jack and Jimmy Winters. Jack hides and is found by a group of friendly Indians who raise him as their own, while Jimmy is taken away by the outlaws and Buff raises him as his son. Jack becomes known as Cherokee, a law-abiding man while Jimmy, following in the footsteps of his foster father, becomes an outlaw known as The Kansas Kid. The brothers' trails soon cross but neither realize they are brothers.
