Lance Kilkenny's gun is believed to be the fastest in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny's life after he was shot up. Now Davis needs Kilkenny's help. He has filed a claim on land but the district is dominated by two wealthy cattlemen, Webb Steele and Chet Lord, each one claiming the land Davis occupies for himself. If Kilkenny doesn't watch his step, he'll pay the debt he owes with his own blood.
