content

In a train robbery by Billy Kane and his gang, the art shooter Richard Martin is shot in the hands. He is looking for a young, ambitious pistolero, whom he trains to perfection in shooting and with whom he goes from fair to fair. Ricky Shot, the new "Shooting Star", is suspected of a robbery carried out by Kane. When Kane falls into the hands of the bandit Vigonza, Shot helps him escape, which Martin does not understand. Only gradually does he learn to understand the motifs of Shots, who first want to have his innocence proven. Martin, who is in excruciating pain from the shooting, kills Kane himself, but is shot by him. Betty from the saloon says that Kane was also a student and friend of Martin. Ricky Shot brings down the members of the Kanes gang one by one and can kill Kane in a long duel with pistols.
