Former Confederate Army Captain, Gary O'Hara, is sent home after the end of the Civil War with the barrel of his gun cut off. This joke by the Union soldiers will become a vital part of the story later on in the film. O'Hara now wants to start a new life in the West with his wife Judy but has a difficult time finding a job. Gary stumbles into the town of Yellowstone, where he's offered a job by McCory/McCoy who in the sheriff's absense wants Gary to bring in a an outlaw named Blackie. When the two meet O'Hara recognizes the outlaw to be his own brother Phil. Too late he is shot but saved from death by a silver dollar he was carrying in his breast pocket. Blackie is then gunned down by Mc'Coy's henchmen. When the smoke clears Gary learns Blackie wasn't a criminal but had been hired by the local townspeople to protect them from McCoy and his henchmen. Returning home to recover from his wound he learns his wife has fallen into the hands of McCory/McCoy. He tries to get the sheriff to help but finds out he is just another henchman of McCory/McCoy's. Gary on his own cleans-up the town, faces off in a duel with the ringleader and this is were the sawed-off gun barrel comes into play. O'Hara gains the respect of the town and is able to begin that new life with his wife by his side.
