Plot
Saloon owner Riley Condor pays Lee Ring $2000 to kill aged gunman-for-hire Tom Rosser. In attempting to shoot Rosser in the back at night, Ring misses and kills Rosser's wife instead. Rosser goes to Great Plains, supposedly to look over property, but his agenda is to kill Condor. Word gets around that Rosser is in town and Condor realizes that his gunslinging henchmen, Horsinger, Tavenner, Slim Akins, Flon and Ring, are no match for Rosser, and he sets in motion a plan that will use the law to eliminate Rosser.
