action

Danny Lom is as talented a painter as Sagittarius. His father even sells his cattle ranch to help him study. On their way into town, the coach is ambushed; Danny, who fell out of the carriage while defending himself, had to watch the murder of all other passengers, including his father, passed out. The five bandits wear distinctive clothing, which he draws on paper at the next opportunity. After he - now penniless - has found work with the blacksmith, he notices that some of the murderers are in town. He uses both his shooting skills and his skills as a painter to unsettle the criminals - among whom he also suspects the sheriff, whose daughter he falls in love with. When the sheriff tells him that the objects incriminating him (boots and striking spurs) were given to him by the wealthy landowner Stanford, Danny can now hunt down the leader of the bandits. With the help of the sheriff and a group of volunteers, he can also fight the rest of the gang and bring justice to victory.
