Gator McKlusky is a moonshine runner who finds himself in jail when his illegal activities finally catch up with him. While serving his sentence, he learns that his brother has been killed under suspicious circumstances involving the corrupt local sheriff, J.C. Connors. Gator strikes a deal with federal agents to win his freedom in exchange for helping them bust the moonshine operation that Connors controls. Motivated by a desire for justice and revenge, Gator infiltrates the moonshine ring, facing dangers and betrayals as he works to bring down the sheriff.

Gator teams up with Roy Boone, another moonshiner, and they navigate a series of high-speed chases, shootouts, and deceptions as they gather evidence against Connors. Along the way, Gator forms an alliance with Lou, a woman connected to the moonshine world. As they dig deeper into the corruption, they find themselves up against Connors' hitmen and cronies. Their determination and resourcefulness are tested as they get closer to exposing the truth and avenging Gator's brother.
