Eugene Wyeth doesn't seem to realize that the Civil War is over, and even his family can't persuade him to surrender. With a price on his head he assumes there is a bounty hunter around every corner. But when his old comrade-in-arms, Rattlesnake Jack, is shot, Wyeth must risk exposure and ride into town to seek help. With the powerful Kirby Taylor and his gang of gunslingers determined to stand in Wyeth's way, there is trouble looming, and Wyeth must examine all he has stood for and put his very identity to the test.
