A legendary poker-playing outlaw, Triggerman, arrives in town for the wildest gambling tournament this side of the West. As the tournament begins, he gets caught up in a violent showdown as bandits try to cheat their way to the finals. With his hand on the trigger, this outlaw won’t let anything come between him and his winning hand.

This was a follow up made to television film to Doc West. This was to be a television series and these films were filmed in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico and made as pilots for the series. Like many other attempts before it the series failed to develop a financial backing. The two films were shown on Italian television September 7^th and 14th, 2009. Both handily won their time slots but no further episodes were filmed.
