Tracking down the killer of his old partner, The Gunsmith rides to a crossroads town in New Mexico. He has to duck hot lead all the way to the saloon before he can enjoy a drink and the favors of the fanciest female this side of the Rio Grande. To get to the bottom of his friend's death, he lets the town fathers talk him into turning lawman once again- which only brings a host of enemies out of the woodwork. Luckily, his lady sticks by him, but The Gunsmith will need more than good loving to survive in this violence-hungry hamlet where paid gunfighters outnumber the "good citizens" two to one.
