Clint comes to Warbend for no other reason than he's passing through. But he finds that the town is in the grips of a deadly conflict. Gunmen have taken control of the town, causing the town fathers to hire a group of well known Town Tamers, led by self-styled Captain Bennigan. The Captain has had badges made up, which he and his men wear, but which have no official standing. Clint watches the conflict take place, and soon realizes that the town tamers have taken their name too literally. The townspeople soon find that their hired guns are worse than the guns they've been hired to tame.
