Plot Overview
A bank robber, Rocky, is murdered in the Cimarron jail and a hot-tempered cowpoke, Screamer, in an adjoining cell recognizes the assassin as the victim's boss, Ace Coffin. Screamer offers to help Marshal Jim Crown track down the killer. However, he is so eager to lend his services that Crown questions his motives. It soon becomes apparent that Screamer's real reason for cooperating is that he knows that Coffin has a $10,000 price on his head and wants the reward for himself.
Meanwhile, Coffin is having his own troubles trying to control his large gang, who resent his cold-blooded murder of one of their members and are stirred up about their failure to get the loot that had been promised them.
Pursued by Crown, Screamer, Deputies MacGregor and Francis, in an initial skirmish with the gang MacGregor is wounded and he and Francis return to Cimarron after failing to find a Doctor in nearby Tres Cruces.
Going on Crown and Screamer forge some unlikely alliances in their relentless pursuit of Coffin. One being Latch from the gang, another, Smitty a rustler of Indian cattle, both with their own reasons to assist Crown. But can Crown trust any of them?
