Plot:
The gunman, Brendan O'Malley, crosses the border into Mexico and arrives at the ranch of Belle Breckenridge. He asks to spend the night there, and meets her daughter Melissa. Belle was his sweetheart, and now is married to the drunkard and coward John Breckenridge, but O'Malley still has a crush on her. John hires O'Malley to lead his herd to Texas. However, Sheriff Dana Stribling is hunting O'Malley to serve a warrant for the death of his brother-in-law, and also arrives on the farm, where he does not have jurisdiction to arrest O'Malley. Stribling also agrees to work for John, bringing the cattle to Texas, and promises to deliver O'Malley to the law in the arrival.
