Jim Endicott, vastbesloten om een einde te maken aan de achterbakse activiteiten van Faro Jack Vaughn. De strategie van de schurk is om de lokale cowboy's klein te krijgen zodat deze niet in staat zullen zijn om het werk aan een spoorlijn te voltooien.

Outlaws of the Pandhandle was the last of Charles Starrett's "formula" westerns for Columbia: hereafter, Starrett would be seen only in the guise of frontier medico Steven Monroe or masked do-gooder The Durango Kid. For the moment, however, the star is cast as Jim Endicott, bound and determined to put an end to the underhanded activities of gin-mill operator Faro Jack Vaughn (Norman Willis). The villain's strategy is to get the local cowpunchers tanked up on rotgut that they'll prove to be easy pickings for a gang of rustlers-and will be unable to complete work on a railroad spur which will bypass the outlaws' hideaway.
