Running from his tragic past, former Confederate officer Clay Chandler (Joe Moore) drifts into a lawless Arizona town and becomes the marshal. He arrests one of the notorious Hopkins brothers for killing a black man. Corrupt town patriarch Wes Hopkins (Matthew Pedersen) gives Clay twenty-four hours to release his brother Vance (Allen Cole) or else! Clay discovers that Wes has the mayor (George O'Hanlon), the judge (Rico Tudor) and town lawyer (Stephen Mead) under his thumb, and most everyone else in town too scared to do anything.

Most evil of Hopkins's gang is vicious killer Driscoll (Michael deYcaza), who likes to cut his victims with a straight razor. The editor of the town newspaper (Robert Jones) wants to help Clay, but meets resistance from his wife (Tina Shelton). Unexpectedly, freed slave Essex Johnson (Derrick Brown) volunteers to be a deputy. The ex-rebel and ex-slave seem to have nothing in common, but staying alive. As the deadline for releasing Vance nears, Clay turns to a town prostitute (Katie Doyle) for help. The stage is set for a bullet-ridden showdown.
Completing the impressive cast in supporting roles are Bob Whiting, Dezmond Gilla, Don Pierce, Keith Griffin, Rick Roper, Sherry Shaoling, Joji Yoshida, Dean Reiners, Colin Fong and Larry Southard. Fong, a veteran stuntman, is also acting as stunt coordinator.
