content
Just after Doc West has paid the post office money that is intended for his protégé Estrella, who lives in a boarding school in Boston after the death of her single mother, the station is robbed. Doc West immediately takes up the chase.
On the way he sees how the young Silver is thrown from his horse, which was frightened by a rattlesnake. Doc West helps the boy and accompanies him to his hometown Holy Sand.
Once there, he is challenged to a game of poker in the saloon, which he wins. However, the other participants accuse him of being a cardsharp, so that he is promptly arrested by the local sheriff Baseheart.
However, he can convince the sheriff not to be a crook. The two become friends and Doc West tells him about his past. It was he who is responsible for the death of Estrella's mother because he operated on her while drunk. He has never touched a scalpel or whiskey since then.
The sheriff convinces the employer of the men who had defeated Doc West in poker to give West the winnings due to him. Using a mark on the banknotes, however, Doc West notices that they came from the robbery on the post office. The suspicion quickly falls on one of the men who was off on the day of the attack. Since further attacks on post offices took place in the past, after which there was a phantom picture of the perpetrator based on eyewitnesses, Baseheart requested the profile from the Federal Marshal.
At the same time, a battle breaks out in Holy Sand between two warring families over a piece of pastureland. Doc West forges a plan with Sheriff Baseheart to restore peace. Each family is supposed to have three men face each other in a fight without weapons. Since the boys in one of the two families are nice guys but have no combat experience, he trains with them.
When peace finally reigns between the two families after the fight, a messenger arrives with the expected profile. He shows the already suspected man.
When trying to arrest the now identified robber, there is a duel between him and Doc West, which West wins because of his shooting skills. Since he only shot the gun out of the robber's hand, the robber tries to shoot him from behind in the back when he turned away from him. However, Silver throws himself in front of Doc West and thus saves his life.
To save the boy who was hit by the bullet intended for him, Doc finally picks up a scalpel again and operates on him.
