Way Outback

A young miner, Jack Somers, is in love with school teacher Ruby Clarke, in the back country. However she is in love with the local trooper, Billy Hayes.

Somers decides to sell his mine and leave town. While coming out of the warden's office he counts the money he has received in payment, and is seen by the notorious Black Reegan, who decides to rob him.

Reengan is gambling in the pub when Somers comes in. Reegan picks a fight with Somers, which is interrupted by Trooper Hayes. Hayes interrupts the fight, but Reegan escapes with Hayes' revolver as Hayes knocks out Somers.

Somers goes to get his horse and is shot with Hayes' revolver by Reegan, who leaves the weapon near the body. Hayes is eventually accused of the murder of Somers. He is arrested by escapes from jail and flees into the bust.
