Plot Overview

Gunman Howard Kane is trailing the Lazy L cattle drive to Dodge City, swearing to get revenge on his traitorous ex-partner Jack Cole, who is riding on the drive under a different name. While around Dodge, he is staying at the home of Abelia Johnson and her two kids, who Kane had earlier saved from a wild dog being hunted by Festus, Sam and Burke for attacking livestock in the area.
