Fresh out of the Territorial Prison, Tucker Ashley and his friend Jack stake a claim during the Black Hills gold rush-but it has been jumped by two men. Jack and Tucker are confronted by Rule Enforcers for the Mining District, Zell McGinty and his son Trait-gunmen known for their ruthlessness. Tucker's gun handling skills have deteriorated in prison, and he and Jack are powerless to resist them and are forced off their claim. They hear that miners all along the gulch have been killed, and Indians blamed. But then Tucker finds out that the dead miners were murdered by the McGintys for their claims. When the McGintys learn Tucker has uncovered their scheme, Trait hunts him. So, Tucker's legendary skills with a pistol must be relearned, all the while looking over his shoulder, waiting to be confronted by the deadly gunman.
