Sinopsis

Young Peter Ott gets entangled with a ranchers wife and is forced to leave home. He becomes a deputy in Durango, only to be shot, because of his inexperience, during a gunfight. He learns the rudiments of becoming a fast gun from a gunman whose future death he is sworn to avenge. He becomes a deputy in Globe, chasing down various outlaws throughout Arizona. An eastern manufacturer pays Ott to avenge the death of his son who was hung along with two other cowboys by vigilantes on the Mogollon Rim. Also, Bull Davis, who owns mining and agricultural interest, pays Ott to avenge the death of one of his ranch foremen.
