Set in the remote Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1887, this is the story of unscrupulous businessman Horace Scarsdale's (Dave Long) plot to use a company of hired guns to evict - or murder - the residents of Sweetwater so that his dreams of profiting from westward expansion can come true. Standing in his way are the local sheriff (Stan Fink) and one-time Confederate sharpshooter William Drayton (Jim Hilton), who disappeared into the high country after losing his wife and daughter several years before.
