action

After the end of the American Civil War, marauding gangs roamed the west, devastating cities and raiding travelers. Former Yankee officer Dakota comes across the remains of a stagecoach robbery. He takes a wounded girl who has survived to a doctor in a town whose sheriff Scott wants to take action against the gangs - he puts together a group of people who are supposed to go in search of the outlaws. Dakota joins the squad.

In a bandit attack, all of the sheriff's people are wiped out; only Dakota can save himself and finds out that Deputy John Lead is the brains behind the bandits. In search of evidence, Dakota leaves town, where Lead is now using violence against his opponents. He also forces the sheriff's daughter to promise him shit. When Dakota returns, he is able to prevent the wedding and hand the deputy into the hands of a state agent.
