action

A small town in the west is ruled by the Ward brothers, who are very ruthless in getting their way. Ernest Ward, one of them, used to be a bounty hunter.
A Protestant pastor also lives in the town, whose adopted son, Johnny King, is known for his shooting and seduction skills, which is why he is currently in prison. There he makes the acquaintance of gang boss Meredith, with whom he escapes during a rescue operation and ends up in the hiding place of his gang of criminals, where he falls in love with Liz, the wife of Meredith's right-hand man, Gary. In order to stay by her side, he agrees to participate in a robbery.
Johnny arranges the robbery so that it succeeds bloodlessly, but Gary has to face a duel. He wins and walks away with Liz. Back in town, he decides to take revenge on the wards who have now murdered his stepfather. The brothers have hired a number of shooters to kill Johnny, but since Meredith is among them, he saves Johnny. After Johnny was discovered and arrested by the brothers, he was able to free himself with the help of Liz and complete his revenge.
