 Mexican gunfighter Dave Robles outdraws the town s outlaw-turned-sheriff and is invited to fill the dead man s shoes. But a tin star doesn t bring automatic respectability and Robles is shunned by the town s leading citizens. His popularity with its less-savory element, particularly saloonkeeper Bannister, wanes dramatically, too, as he starts to take his job seriously. It is his love for a decent, caring woman that keeps Dave in town, but can she convince him to lay down his gun and start a new life?
