A dangerous criminal, Anthony Stevens, is in jail, accused of murder, but there is only one witness who can prove his crime : he is expected to arrive in town at any moment, coming by stagecoach. A friend of the outlaw, the outlaw Ramon, comes to his rescue by intercepting the coach and kidnapping all passengers and keeping them at the stage station run by a man who calls himself Robert Walton. In order to discover, and eliminate the witness, Ramon must determine which of the passengers the right person is. Ramon and his men terrorize their captives even killing a few. Walton, however, in reality is Wayne Sonnyer, a famous gunslinger, (who supposedly died a few years before, after a duel with Stevens). At first he is powerless to act against Ramon, but is finally able to arm himself and kill the gunman and his accomplices. Meanwhile Stevens, acquitted for lack of evidence, discovers what has happened to Ramon and decides to avenge him. In the ensuing duel between the two, Sonnyer iss definitely the better of the two and kills Stevens.
