Allan "Rocky" Lane finds himself linked up with an unexpected ally in Wyoming Bandit. That ally is none other than the title character, a hard-bitten outlaw named Wyoming Dan (Trevor Bardette). The bad guy has briefly turned "good" in hopes that Lane will help him find his son's murderer. To do this, Lane must also alter his personality and pose as a deadly gunman. The pivotal scene finds Dan and Lane in the villain's lair, facing a daunting array of firearms. Wyoming Bandit is one of a handful of Republic "B" westerns with no leading lady whatsoever.
