When a telegram informs Tilman Wagner that his only son
Dan has been brutally murdered, Tilman sets out from
Texas to find the truth. Who killed Dan and why did he have
to die? The questions surrounding his son's death haunt
him as he makes his way toward Mahonville, Colorado.
Mahonville is a raw mining town controlled by the conniving
Big Bill Ward. Ward has his hand in every pot and terrorizes
anyone who questions his authority over the town and the
mine.
Seeking refuge from the town, Tilman heads to the
boarding house of the widow Catherine Stone. She is an
attractive mother of one with a strength and sense of humor
that makes even Tilman smile and threatens to soften his
cold, hard heart. He moves into the same room his son
Dan had occupied and begins his inquiry and plan for
revenge. Things seem to be going well until Tilman
discovers that Bill Ward wants Catherine for himself in
order to add to his veneer of respectability.
Tilman rides the length of the high mountain valley
searching for the sharpshooter who killed his son. Aided by
Butter Pegram, Tilman discovers that the truth is not always
what it seems, nor is it always what is expected.

Tilman Wagner receives a telegram for help from long-
time friend John McCandless Law, an army captain
serving at Fort Davis , Texas. On the way to El Paso,
Lomida, John's daughter, and Madeline Brown, her
schoolteacher, fall into the hands of renegade Indians
and then find themselves pawns in a game of chance. A
gambler wins the girls from the Indians, and delivers
them to Chuy Ayala, a self-styled revolutionary.
Ayala rides both sides of the Texas-Mexico border.
Needing a Gatling gun for his struggle, he uses the girls
to bargain for a Ft. Davis gun.
Held captive in a smugglers' cave deep in a canyon on
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande , Maddie and Lomida
find themselves captives in an escalating war. The
hostages encounter both good and evil in the bandits’
stronghold.
Into this mêlée, Tilman and his friend Butter go to free the
girls and retrieve the Gatling gun before it can be turned
against Americans.
