Steve 'El Desperado' Blasco is asked by a dying Confederate soldier, Bill Flannigan to visit his blind father Sam, and tell him of his fate. Sam Flannigan is the only resident of a town called Overton. Blasco is given a pistol old Sam made by hand which will verify Steve's intentions. Steve has other ideas and dresses in the soldier's clothes and decides to steal the money the soldier has been sending to Sam in order for them to buy a ranch after the war is over. Blasco convinces Flannigan that he is his son and gains the old man and his caretaker's Katys confidence. Everything goes well until a gang of outlaws ride into town. They are there to rob a Confederate payroll wagon and among the gang is Steve's ex-girlfriend. Steve has developed an affection for Sam and Katy and does everything in his power to defend them.
