A restless wanderer is bound by a promise to watch after the widow of a dying friend. His vow leads him to a small town terrorized by a saloon owner and his hired gunman.

On one side is an army of gunmen dead-set on springing a murderous cohort from jail. On the other is Sheriff John T. Chance and his two deputies: one a recovering drunkard, the other a crippled codger. Also in their ragtag ranks are an unseasoned, trigger-happy youth and a woman with a past-- and her eye on Chance.
