In Los Angeles living Rex's dream is to be as famous as a gunslinger that his life story is filmed. He disguises himself as a cowboy and provokes numerous police officers to duels by always asking the same question: are you fast enough? Then he shoots the law enforcement officers.
Rex is in the media as mad Rex - crazy Rex called -. One day he learns of the police officer John Shepard, who single-handedly prevailed against an armed gang, and wants to challenge him.
