Texas Ranger Tom Bell is on the trail of a fugitive killer in 1931 when he arrives in Kilgore, a hastily constructed shanty town teeming with rough and desperate men. Oil drillers have flocked to the boomtown in search of work, overwhelming the sheriff and rendering him helpless. None of the roughnecks are willing to assist the young Ranger in his quest to find the wanted man. It becomes apparent that the lawman's presence has angered the wrong people, and when two attempts on his life fail, Bell realizes he is getting closer to uncovering the culprit responsible for cheating and murdering local landowners to access the rich oil fields beneath their farms.

On the third attempt, they make the fatal mistake of killing someone close to him, leaving the Ranger alive. Armed with his trademark 1911 Colt .45 and the Browning automatic he liberated from a gangster's corpse, Tom Bell embarks on a devastating rampage through the heart of East Texas in search of the consortium behind the lethal land-grab scheme.
