1880 Fort Concho, Texas, an armoured army wagon carrying the soldiers payroll is ambushed by a gang led by Tate Hansen. One of his men the sadistic Buford kills all of the army escort, another, Benji, lays a stick of dynamite to blow open the strongbox. Believing the fuse to be faulty, Bo Woodard enters the wagon as the dynamite explodes.
Left for dead by the gang, Bo returns eight and a half years later to claim his share of the theft, $10,000. Using the papers of a Texas deputy he killed, he gets a job as a deputy with Marshal Crown, under MacGregors supervision, while Crown is away in Kansas City.
The outlaw, unsuccessful in claiming his share of the loot, begins enginering ways of killing off his former partners, who have settled in the Cimarron Strip.

The sheriff on hearing the story remembers a "wanted" poster for Bo.
