When Monte Hale interferes with Sweeney's plans and survives what should have been a fatal ambush, the outlaw's faith in his "lucky" gun begins to crack, especially after Hale appears mysteriously alive at the Gold Dust Saloon. Monte then infiltrates Sweeney's gang to catch them red-handed during a stagecoach robbery at Hangman's Bend, forcing a final reckoning between the two men—one confident in superstition, the other in skill.

When the ex-sheriff Old Timer learns that the dangerous Red Benson—a man who's sworn vengeance against him—has escaped jail and is headed to Prairie Gulch, he faces a choice between his past and his present.
